On top of what others are saying, a closer race than expected says to the dem candidates that the republican strategy is working and might make some dems think they need to adopt the same type of strategies. Also, not sure your demographic but if young people continue to not vote regardless of reason, it says to the politicians that they can safely keep ignoring causes important to young people.
