There are two ways to vote in Michigan:
>Straight Party Ticket eg (Democrat, Republican, Libertarian).
>Direct Candidate Choice eg. (Biden, Trump, Jorgenson)
Example of how this is plotted:
>1000 voters go into a precinct
>500 of them use method 1 (straight party vote)
>Of those 250 are republican tickets.
>(250 / 500 = SRP = 50%) Plotted on X axis.
>The other 500 use method 2 (direct candidate)
>Of those 200 are votes for Trump
>Direct Trump Votes = 200 / 500 = 40%
>The disparity between the two methods is plotted on the Y axis.
>In this example -10%
The question: Should we expect a linear trend downwards, or a horizontal scatter distribution?
