Newswise — Elizabeth Sanders, an election expert and professor in the Government Department at Cornell University says it’s nearly impossible to predict turnout for Sanders or Trump, but she says their voters might upend the result economic and political elites prefer.

Sanders says:“This is a most exciting year - one in which big money groups, endorsements, and party elites find themselves oddly marginalized, and wondering what will happen. Some have argued that the ‘invisible primary’ of wealthy donors and party elites always leads to the outcome they favor, regardless of early debates and local appeals.

“But predicting turnout for Sanders/Trump voters is nearly impossible. Although they are not habitual voters, their level of enthusiasm could well get them to the polls/caucuses, upending the expected ‘invisible primary’ results.”

Cornell University has television, ISDN and dedicated Skype/Google+ Hangout studios available for media interviews.
