@gelliottmorris This just seems like a very confusing way to approach things. If VBM increases turnout by 2%—which, I would note, is *net* of rejected ballots since those estimates are generally based on *counted* ballots—it would seem like the convenience factor outweighs the rejection factor. — PolitiTweet.org

@gelliottmorris "There's actually no evidence" is kind of a silly statement. Most of the evidence does point toward VBM increasing turnout. And since the effect of rejection rates is quite small (about a 1% increase in *net* rejection rates vs in-person) it could *easily* be the larger effect. — PolitiTweet.org

@gelliottmorris I'm not sure, but I think what you're doing is conflating what a 2% *overall* increase in turnout would do vs. what we're really interested in, which is how much the added convenience of VBM results in a "likely voter" being more likely to follow through with voting under VBM. — PolitiTweet.org
