Although it would be somewhat intuitive, some of their "corrections" seem kind of funky to try to explain away the outliers to their theory.

Here in PA, we have no early voting, no same-day registration, very restrictive absentee balloting, and IDs are required, at least if you are voting for the first time or voting at a new location for the first time. We actually had a 6% increase in turnout (about 373,000+) in 2016 when compared to 2012 despite being "ranked" in the bottom 3rd of their model.
