How I respond to the below post whether I agree or disagree?

#1 In the Education/Economics graph it seems that our education has a direct effect on how much money we make. Another reason, I believe the people at higher education levels learn more about finances and taxes, and that correlates with voting because the tax bills are written and passed by these politicians. The more money you make, the more likely you'll vote for someone who's looking at your (financial) interests. Wealth buys votes, and in turn the politicians create financial laws to help the top earners to keep more of it.

#2 In a pie chart it makes it easier to read the graph, understanding that the pie is 100% as a whole. As a percentage bar graph it helps when looking at each individual observation. It's easier to visualize a percent because 100 is a nice round number. For example, if you have 3 items, number 1 is 30%, number 2 is 50%, then all you have to do to figure out the last one is add those together, then subtract that total from 100.

#3 The graphs in this article seem to highlight the information that they want to convey. The nonvoter bars are brighter, catching the eye, and a little thicker. Maybe that's to make it look more than what it really is? In the Education/Economic graph the information for the lower income and education seems to be in bold lettering and dark coloring. Then the higher education/income is lighter and a little hazy. This draws your attention to the lower side of the graph more.

#4 As the editor, I think I would explain to the author that there were more than just "i didn't want to vote" and to look at historical redlined areas such as Pennsylvania. Also, look at the areas that have multiple polling locations compared to the ones that have to travel out to vote, and the demographics of those areas.

#5 I would add more hashes on the Y axis in Election Turnout graph. For example you see New Hampshire and Maine are both at 71% BUT visually is shows ME to be a little lower than NH. Basically I would make sure that the bars directly reflect the numbers assigned.

#6 From 2018 to 2022 it looks like their were more elderly Latinos voting conservative.
