2013'er
Not because 80,000 liberals suddenly became conservatives. It was because 80,000 complacent liberals out of thei vast majority sat it out over a lackluster crown prince who botched the local Obamacare roll-out. The state didn’t get more conservative, it took a nap.
In the 2014 elections Brown had 818,890 votes, Frosh had 935,846 votes. Voters didn't sit home. 117,000 D's and I's switched sides to vote for Hogan.
Gov
Hogan 884,400
Brown 818,890
Quinn 25,382
Total 1,728,672
AG
Frosh 935,846
Pritzker 682,265
Dymowski 57,069

Looks to me that 117,000 or so D's and I's who voted for Frosh voted for Hogan.
