In addition to a registration disadvantage, democrats and no party just don't turn out. The registration discrepancy could be overcome by higher turnout rate. And frankly Democratic males are not keeping up with either females or their republican counterparts.

segment 2016 2012
Democratic Female turnout rate 75.78% 78.52%
Democratic Male turnout rate 71.48% 74.81%
Republican Female turnout rate 81.70% 82.99%
Republican Male turnout rate 80.24% 81.50%

7. I can't think of any single place other the the SOS or Board of Elections

or whatever is the equivalent for the individual state...where all of the data comes together.

In Cali, each county has a board of elections and they send their results to the SOS.
So my shift at the polling stations produces a boatload of data and documentation, which goes to the county board of elections to be tabulated and combined with vote by mail and early voting....and the results of all the other polling station.

Then the counties report their results to the SOS.

You can watch the provisional vote counts being worked and added.

California does a great job on transparency.

2. Personally I think most people are fine with whoever the nominee is

with as many candidates as there are it's not as much of a horse race. Why would anyone other than a political junkie spend their entire day plus possibly longer on a mess like a caucus if they don't really care which one it is? Undecided IS the biggest current category.
