Neat finding, and a good reminder that there's a world of difference between "no detected effect" and a precisely estimated zero.

Does more schooling make people more likely to vote?
Yes!
Many natural experiments have been underpowered. Scholars have relied on a lack of statistical significance incorrectly as evidence for no effect.
When you pool estimates, the effects are consistent with education increasing voting.
