There was a gun control initiative on the ballot that brought out conservatives in droves.

Yes, this is the explanation that was given at the time.  

It was an initiative to ban the so-called Saturday Night Special guns.  Even though the initiative passed, as Badger wrote, it brought out a lot of conservatives who wouldn't have otherwise voted.
