I haven't "avoided" answering. I stated given the sample size that did report, and that ratio being 4 to 1, we can determine with pretty much mathematical accuracy what way the remaining population would lean. Of course we would have to consider the "All other things equal" rule and dismiss the possibility of anomalies.

I didn't see a math error.  Did you?  How can I focus on something which I'm unaware is there?

To the bold: you're suggesting a 4:1 democrat:republican bias ratio among the remaining 65% based upon the individuals who self reported?  That's an assumption.  Even if the remaining 65% all declared as independent instead of a third party, how do you predict the political bias of an independent?
