One pretty significant quibble. They can't compare the number of voting eligible felons adjusted for turnout rate to the total number of voting age people in Florida. They should have compared it to number of actual voters in 2016 (so also adjusted for turnout rate) not the total voting age population.

Upon reflection, a substantial third party would probably divide our country even further. While more voters would probably have a preferred candidate, probably less voters would have preferred the elected POTUS.
There’s no easy answers. As Ken Kesey repeatedly said, “everything bruises something, you trade off”.
The chart of who has qualified for the debate really shows how stratified the field has become.

Wow. That is very trelling for some candidates. Is there any reason for those falling behind and not a billionaire seeking to self fund... Why would you stay in the race.
I really like how the democrats are doing this ahead on the primaries. There really needs to be a smallish field come Super Tuesday.
2016 - Trump won by 112,911
2012 - Obama won by 74,309
2008 - Obama won by 236,450
2004 - Bush won by 380,978
2000 - Bush won by 537
1996 - Clinton won by 302,334
1992 - GHW Bush won by 100,612
1988 - GHW Bush won by 962,069
So, 48k votes would only have changed the outcome in Florida once in modern presidential times (it would have barely changed things back in 1964 too, but there were only 1.8 million folks voting in Florida back then so 48,000 made a muuuch bigger difference than it does today when 5x more people vote in the Sunshine state).

This is kind of the same as the old "my vote doesn't count" fallacy, except multiplied by 48,000. Maybe felons by themselves don't swing the election, but now in a tight race you only have 48,000 votes to not have to worry about (or to worry about, depending on which side of the aisle you're on).
We all agree that is not an insignificant pick up for Dems, right?
Anyone ready to fire up the 2024 thread?
