Maybe they walked away from the party but they just might be voting in their local races for the party they left.

Many of those people said they weren’t going to vote, so they could still not be represented in this poll.

Because it’s BS. When there’s no evidence whatsoever that there has been any “walk away” in any statistically significant way, this is the fall back position for those cultists refusing to accept that the entire concept was a YouTube and alt-right induced canard.

So then what does it matter who they pledge allegiance too -- lol.

People who are dramatic and make a big show of 'walking away' -- are politically motivated. I don't believe for one moment after all that drama they won't choose to exercise their right to vote.

But say they did put on a big show to say they belong to the Republican party -- the fact they can't be bothered to vote means their big walkaway means absolutely nothing.

Whatever happened to common sense?

The Fox Exit Poll wasn’t that different.

The “walkaway” movement is a hoax.

They pretty much did - especially in some Red States where actual votes are counted (Gov, as opposed to Gerrymandered house districts...which dems won anyway)....

I think you already know that 1/10th as many people end up voting for the same 2 senators that millions more do....so there is what (rural uneducated low pop. states have two Senators)!!

In places like Florida many of the voters (year-rounders) are older and many are uneducated and somewhat rural. Sure, there are a lot of people in the Blue and Purple counties but vast numbers of them still keep their domicile in their other house in the North.

Lots of reasons. But the data is the data.

It would be hard for us to to say Scott "won" Floridians handily given these criteria:

1. He spent a total of 150 MILLION of his own money to barely squeak by.
2. He had complete control of the voter rolls, laws and election process.
3. Voting rights were not restored to 1.5 Million Floridians (now they are)......

With a margin of less than 1/5 of 1%, any of these three would have sunk him - all of them would have been a landslide. You don't think he spent all that money for nothing??
