Wrong. The only extrapolation done was from sampled size to highly qualified estimates of what the numbers would represent in the larger population. It has nothing to do with voting in municipal elections, that was just the first (incorrect) attempt to criticize it that you found so you went with that.
The authors aren't counting on anything of the sort because they're not partisan morons like you are. They openly note and readily admit the many significant limitations of the study. There plenty of bases on which the methods in the study could be legitimately questioned as, for example, Tesler does here:

You own idiocy in not understanding what the study was isn't among them.

It appeared in the Post first dumbshit. That's where the rest all picked it up.
No, it wasn't debunked. It's a standard statistical analysis using the CCES database. The numbers come out to be what they come out to be. The authors don't claim anything more than that.
