    This is that garbage Pew report from

    … 8,942 U.S. citizens ages 18 and older who are members of the Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP). We verified their turnout in the five general elections from 2016 to 2024 using commercial voter files that collect publicly available official state turnout records.

    It’s bullshit and the reason why is right there - and the fact that they ran the survey two weeks after the election. Idiocy.

      You care to support your unfounded assertions? Two weeks is still pretty close to the election. You can only do so much on day-of exit polls. Two weeks later is very close to the election. And you quoted a paragraph, but I see nothing actual objectionable there. What exactly is your problem with anything you quoted? That’s a very large sample size. You’re just dismissing the study’s methodology as “bullshit” by fiat. It’s bullshit because you arbitrarily decided it was bullshit. Or more precisely, it’s simply bullshit because you didn’t like the conclusions reached. Blue MAGA indeed.

        I do not. They are far from unfounded.

        I see nothing actual objectionable there.

        I’m sure.
