13. You Have to Give GOP +2 For Voter Suppression

Polling can only measure the expressed intention of people to vote. But, if you stall the mail in Atlanta, cut down on polling locations in urban areas, enforce voter ID strictly against minorities and make people in urban areas wait for hours, Republicans can gain a few points notwithstanding the polls. This is why Republicans suppress the vote: because it is effective in a close race. Sure, it is not going to stop a landslide, but in a close race, it has an impact.
