how do they know someone is blue or red? generally based on zip codes. if the databases are old their presumptions are bs. if some republicans are pissed off and crossvote blue and vote early from red areas, they won't say they reacted negatively but assume all is the way it was years ago hence all these people they must be republicans.  look at north carolina, a deep red state and both parties are even while some people are throwing away their votes by picking an independent.
