Voter Turnout Issues

People like you are quite rare. Most people will vote for the lesser of two evils once they hit some level of disgust.If you read their methodology, they are trying to reach a large group first. I seems someone as rare as you doesn't matter when thousands of easy votes are still out there. Even then they may fix something else on the way to voter turnout of 80% or 90% that may be appealing to you.

There is a certain political party that is harmed by high voter turnout in the USA and is actively engaged in disenfranchising demographics that don't share their worldviews. They certainly will oppose efforts to make it easier to vote.

People would probably vote if they felt less disenfranchised by our plurality voting, the electoral college, and our two party system.

Lots of people don't vote.

how would non-voters affect voting results?

Eligible voters actually voting would help.

Don't forget:- voter suppression[1]It doesn't really matter what percentage of the public favors X, when people who might vote for X are systematically blocked, coerced, or dissuaded from voting. And when one party tends to benefit from low voter turn-out, as is the case in the USA, it should be no surprise when very popular politicians or proposals that poll well, fail due to voter suppression.1: <a href="https://www.votingrightsalliance.org/forms-of-voter-supp

Not all, just a plurality! And getting out the vote is exactly how you do that.

Votes aren't uninformly distributed. Most people vote on election day.

This is too political for HN; and downplays any concerns regarding the alternative, that may have incentivized people to abstain rather than support either.
