I don't think that's accurate.
At it's most fundamental level this is about 100,000,000 voters who can't afford to miss a badly-needed day's pay, something that hasn't been addressed by either ruling party.
Australia has the right idea, mandatory voting on a national holiday.
You're not wrong.
It's no one single thing at the most fundamental level. That is the biggest falsehood anyone will ever convince you of.
Any one of a hundred, a thousand, a million things could have changed and made enough of a difference. That doesn't mean they were the only thing.
