- Izkata 8y agoThe problem is that, because of how the election works, there's no way to know if that's relevant. States that reliably vote for one party could easily be discouraging a ton of people in the opposite camp from voting at all, since they know their vote won't matter. (In particular, I'm thinking of California, which I don't think anyone doubted would go Clinton. And yet it still managed to get around 30% votes for Trump. How much higher would that 30% be if there was uncertainty about which way the state could go?)
