Great job, particularly the use of the stats.

You correctly point out that (in 2020) 1/3 of the voters did not vote. But 2020 was a high turnout year. Typically around ~43% don't vote, a fact that boosts your point.

Thanks DB! Yes, 2020 was high turnout year and you are correct that it is 'usually' a much higher "did not vote" number. In my previous article, I break down the reasons for people not voting which is heavily skewed in a category akin to Nothing To Vote For. No inspiration to vote because there is nothing on offer. The West campaign would do well to dedicate some effort on those folks. The rewards are there.
