The youth vote vs old codgers

[newdayneeded]

Old codgers, of which I am, will never understand how young and younger folks are attached to their phones and social media.

I laugh everytime I see a post on here about how the youth won't vote. the youth look at voting at a voting station as ancient outdated grandparent style life. the same as the old days of going to a polka hall on a Sunday..

If you want 90% of the youth (35 and younger) to vote, get it set up on an online vote. I know it'll be hard, but this is their life. We have to evolve as a society and start opening our eyes.

1. The problem with online voting is that it's hackable.

That's why voting machines aren't connected to the Internet. Online voting won't be possible unless and until it is made completely secure and unhackable.

4. exactly, thats why i said

it would be hard.

Our future will have online voting. It'll be right after the 60+ y/o senators and congressman people die off. the younger generation will make their world in line with their needs.

5. Old congresspeople aren't the problem; the technology is the problem.

Online voting can't happen until it can be made absolutely secure and unhackable, which has nothing to with the ages of anybody, and no matter how much anyone, young or old, wants it to happen. It won't magically happen when the last old legislator dies off.

8. Do you see any law maker even

mentioning this? of course not, like I said, once they are gone, the younger future lawmakers will ask for this method, and they (companies) will start designing/inventing a way to do it. You have to try and think of a world not like you or I live in. today is today, tomorrow is their's.

2. As the older population had to evolve into this world

of technology, the youth will have to accept some things don’t change like voting. They’ll have to deal.

3. vote-by-mail works really well.

it doesn't need to be on a phone.

6. Republicans won't accept any method that makes it easier for young people to vote

Or poor people, or POC, etc.

7. I wouldn't accept it either

The youth can vote by mail or in person.
