| What the whole youth vote issue boils down to is that they didn't have that much of an impact regardless of who they voted for. You're using national percentages to determine how many voted, but the ENTIRE voter turnout of ALL ages was a lot higher. This makes the youth vote a smaller percentage by comparison.
In other words, if the OVER 30 vote was the same as last election, the UNDER 30 vote would have been a much higher percent number due to the big increase.
They still came out in record numbers according to my understanding.
Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |
