Absurd to exclude Texas, which would almost certainly go blue if all eligible voters voted. It goes a long way toward explaining why the GOP pushes so hard to limit voting here.
Nice to see some OC here!
Useful to be reminded how many people don't vote. The polls are always about likely voters; they don't include those who won't vote. So the 50:50 split is a nonsense; neither party likely has more than 1/3 of the electorate behind them, with a whole 1/3 disengaged from the whole thing.
