With the exception of voters strongly committed to one party or ideology, voters change their minds from time to time about what issues are important. McCain in 2008 won 86-13 among that 7% of voters who named "terrorism" as the most important issue. Maybe in 2004 an Asian Indian immigrant voted Kerry because of his opposition to the Iraq War, but after the 2006 Mumbai terrorist attacks, became more concerned about terrorism for a few years? And since he or she is LGBT or knows LGBT people, he or she was put off by GOP comments after Obama's May 2012 embrace of SSM. She or he didn't like Trump or Hillary, but felt confident Hillary would win, so voted Stein 2016? And perhaps approves of Trump's Iran posture and intends to vote for him in 2020?

Someday someone may speculate about a hypothetical McCain-Stein-Johnson-Biden voter. That would be me. (Johnson wasn't on the MI ballot in 2012).
