If Dems outnumber Repubs by 2-1 then identical % rates still mean Dems have twice as many votes. The Dem % who vote would have to be much smaller than the Repub % to make the race "tight". This also assumes each party is going to vote straight to oppose (No) or support (Yes) recalling the Governor.

In any case, the press is apt to figure everything out after the polls close and returns start being posted. Hindsight is nearly 20/20.
