    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.

    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.
