Unsure what I've refused to accept. Seems you've refused to accept my assertion that using Govs might be a better measuring stick to use when analyzing data based on states when the Feds have deferred to the states.
Now if the Feds made laws that all must follow then I'd say using a federal election is the "best choice".
Again, I've explained the reasoning for using that category. I do refuse to accept your opinion on this because it is flawed for the very reasons I expressed. It results in bad statistics that would be useless because of the ideological spectrums in the parties. This isn't about the policies being enacted. Spread is as much o a result of the attitudes of the citizenry as anything else, maybe moreso.
