@mattblaze I also wonder if there's even a detriment to 2000-style research. When we determine that the election would have gone a different way if such and such event happened, is there any value? That event *didn't* happen, and the election went *this* way. Maybe there's a downside to holding onto shoulda woulda coulda scenarios instead of dealing with the world as it is? Especially when it comes down to microscopic margins. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts.
