1. I'm feeling real affection for this new generation

2. Um... were we not able to turnout young voters in NC?

NC youth votes did worst than FL.

If we could get the youth votes numbers similar to the other states, we might have gotten the senate seat.

7. Chart is not turnout it's based on the breakdown of how the kids that did voted ... either D or R

That's why the numbers between the blue and red end up at or close to 100%.

That ratio could be affected by turnout, of course, but could also reflect makeup/leanings of the young people in the state.

8. I know. That's why I was asking questions if someone know the turnout number.

Just trying to see if we can improve on the NC number to be near the other states and if that would have flipped the senate seat to blue.

10. Point taken, and yeah that is the right question :) nt

3. Only 52% in NC? Dang.

4. Any surprise why

Republikkklans want to raise the voting age?

6. more to show Rs are much more energetic

they don't have to worry about it that much, since they don't bother to vote. yet they are working on it.

5. I'm sure the narrative on Faux will be that this is all because of DREAMers (nt)

[Claustrum]

9. Nah. I think they are going with college kids being "groomed" by leftist.

Someone already suggested to raise voting age to 21. They aren't even pretending to reach their votes. Just cancel their votes.

12. This is pretty much it

11. But the more significant stat is that 65-70% of them voted for the Democrats.

That is more important, in my opinion.

13. Turn out rate among Dem and Dem leaning youth most likely significantly higher

That is an overall figure for the entire age demographic. Republican and Republican leaning youth were not mobilized the way our side was.
