A third of the eligible voters didn't vote. If they had, this tiny marginal bullshit wouldn't matter.

Assuming that the third would be biased toward one candidate rather than being probably just as evenly divided as those that did vote.

We know the restrictive voting laws were biased. We do not know that the "didn't bother to vote" has the same bias.

Separate reply, this isn't tiny marginal bullshit, we're talking millions of votes

I don't disagree, but not like my preferred candidate was on the ballot, I still voted tho...
