What if American voters had an atlas-level understanding of electoral politics?

If that were true then the Democratic Party would have college educated voters as the reliable voting bloc within their coalition that they should be, who would never even fathom voting GOP at any level down-ballot.

It still probably wouldn't shift too many states in the Democrats' direction though, but still would be a helpful improvement in giving them some sort of solid electoral floor in both national and certain statewide elections.

The thread does not say that the voters would have the same opinions as users of talkelections.org, but just if they had a similar understanding of electoral politics.

I think this would probably increase downballot voting, midterm voting, and would increase interest in non-presidential races.

Right, and that sort of thing would mean that more voters would actually understand how and why something like a Supreme Court vacancy is so dire and important. If this was the case the recent ruling on abortion rights in Texas would likely benefit Democrats' electoral chances in 2022.

I think there is a link between a civic understanding of the country and a tendency to vote Democratic. It's possibly a partial explanation for why the college educated and up are increasingly rejecting a reality-challenged Republican Party.
