Suppose, for registered Democrats, there are 100,000 in Ward A and 400,000 in Ward B.
There are 500,000 registered Republicans in both wards. In Ward A, 100% of registered Democrats and 90% of registered Republicans vote.
In Ward B, the figures are 10% and 9% respectively.
It implies that the percentage of registered Democrats who vote is higher than the percentage of registered Republicans who vote in each ward.
