I assume a good chunk of people who don't vote live in non-contested counties/states and feel that it's pointless to vote.

Which is weird, because in those cases you can vote for whatever 3rd party candidate is closest to what you want. In the distant past I voted Green for this reason, knowing it didn't matter. (Since then the state swung left a bit and I vote Democrat. I even registered as Democrat to vote for Bernie in the primaries...)

I do the same since I live in Basically a red state.
