That's not true, the X axis is (# of people that voted straight party republican ticket option / total number of republicans and dems that voted straight party ticket option). The Y axis is (# of people that voted Trump but didnt vote straight party ticket option/ total # of people that didnt vote straight party ticket option) - X axis data. The Y and X axis are independent data sets (excluding the subtraction of the Xaxis data) , one does not include the other, one doesnt have to go down if the other goes up and vice versa.
No. The y-axis is (# of people that voted Trump but didnt vote straight party ticket option/ total # of people that didnt vote straight party ticket option) - (# of people that voted straight repub ticket/total number of Dems that voted straight party ticket). It's not a percentage. It's a difference of percentages with different denominators.
Why does your data in column C start with a higher % than column A, but end with a lower percent than column A? If they were the same value, or a constant ratio you would get a straight line. Edit, should say a constant difference, not ratio, since the % is already a ratio.
Why though? Column C should be Trumps share of people that voted for him but didn't vote straight party. That's what Dr. Shiva used, and its not what you're using. You're letting your conclusion drive your data.

Column C is Trump's share of Dem vote multiplied by Dem share of total vote plus Trump's share of Repub vote multiplied by Repub share of total vote.
