receding into the vagaries of not yet considered places. Progressives would call them minorities, people of OTHER faiths, the young...these folk have never been in the mix.
This 30-40%, for starters, are actual voters. Not of the adult population...which should whittle it down a bit.
Another factor that all of the above are learning that they, indeed, do have a say and can change things. Now that actual percentage falls even further as the number of actual first-time, or long time avoided politics voters come out to vote....due to the increased voters.
I think it's on the upswing, either way. And I haven't even addressed the rather obvious fact of the aging-out, aka, dying of the Old White Group.
