    This is not factual. It’s blatantly been proven wrong. I did a paper about it in college. A vast majority of the voting population is undecided.

    There is only about 20 percent total of voters that are always on a side. Many can swing either way for many reasons and many don’t decide until the last two weeks.

    This sort of disinformation leads people to a false sense of security and sways people not to vote thinking that it’s already locked up. That is not the truth.

      Every time I hear about these mythical people who don’t know a thing about politics until right before an election I envy them.

        I mean it’s how a lot of people operate. Just paying very little attention to anything other than what is important to them.
