You can lump most of them together (I'd make exceptions for those with a genuine reason they couldn't, a medical issue or absolute lack of transport options for example). even if your state is, and was, solid blue, enough showing support to the Democrat candidate would have meant that Trump couldn't claim a mandate as the popular vote would have gone the other way. Sure, it wouldn't change the outcome itself, but would have given some comfort to those suffering that the majority of voters didn't want this. As it is, he scraped the popular vote, and the record shows that, in fact, the majority of those who could be bothered to vote actually deliberately voted for this.
