So, do people think a lack of canvassing only means a turnout differential?
A lack of voter outreach also means folks can switch their vote too, because they just don’t see one side at all.

I said that the GOP drew heavily on low propensity voters turning out to boost their votes in the RGV — in essence, giving you some type of “manufactured swings”. But it’s not like that’s independent from a pool of voters switching their vote.

The word here is “key”. No one denies that there was some swing — how else could Biden underrun Clinton’s raw vote total in Starr?
But that swing is also likely connected to a lack of outreach and canvassing that saw the new GOP voters drown out the new Democratic votes.

In essence, don’t underestimate how correlated these issues (swing vs turnout) can be. Fix one, and you likely go a long way towards fixing the other.
