Yup, voter turnout is almost always over 50% for the presidential election which is an indication that is not the key point. The poll normalization by Gallup assume 60% voter turnout, for example. Anything less than that would mean better results for Bush and more for Kerry with the same logic extrapolated to the state level and the electorals.
