if voting made no difference, then why do they try their hardest to prevent poor people and minorities from voting?
Exactly this.
Indifference is how you know something doesn't matter. I remember this lesson even from game development: People complaining about your game is still alright. When the feedback stops entirely, that's when you fucked up.
What if the feedback stops, but the playrate remains high? (ie., indifference but high voter turnout)
Difficult to say as that's really not a common case at all. Might just lack evidence for how to understand this.
