"Research suggests bad weather on Election Day tends to favor Republican candidates by reducing voter turnout, particularly among demographics that lean Democratic.

Impact on Voter Turnout: Studies show that for every inch of rain, Republican candidates receive roughly 2.5% more of the vote, notes The Journalist's Resource. For every inch of snow, the Republican vote share increases by about 0.6%.
Voter Behavior: Lower-income and minority voters, who are more likely to support Democrats, are more sensitive to the increased "cost" of voting in bad weather, according to Politico."
