    But, real data is used. There is not a turn out model of past elections. This is real people and real numbers being my point.

    Every time you vote, your name is checked off on precinct rolls. There’s no guessing on who has voted. Quite handy when it comes to GOTV

      But just because you vote doesn’t mean you take the poll. You can easily walk past or say no. It’s still a poll, yes it’s taken at an election facility, but it is not the same data set as the actual votes
