That "because" is problematic. Neither source cited for it says that. How could one know that's the cause?

Good inference can be drawn that significantly decreased voting opportunities can cause decreased voting.

It may be one of many factors. No way to know what role it played compared to other things, e.g. unlikeable candidate.

Hence "inference". But turnout wasn't down overall, so doubtful "unpopular" is cause. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/no-voter-turnout-wasnt-way-down-from-2012/ …
