"switched to "likely" voter models that *assume* that Democrats don't show up at the polls as often as Republicans do"

What evidence do you have that Dems vote more than pugs, that young vote more than old, that poor vote more than rich, that minorities vote more than whites?

None.

The fact that we do not vote our numbers isn't just somebody's prejudice. It is one the the most established facts in American politics.
