    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

  4. The weighting of the various factors is subjective.

    Heavily weighted is registration and turnout.

    Hawaii had abysmal turnout, but moved up because it had short wait times. Wait times are typically shortest in small rural states, where there is likely never a wait unless a moose wanders into the polling place.
