Nov 2022

It was 60% democratic

Now it’s 80 % democratic

Another way to look at it

Before, of the early youth vote 40% was repub now it’s only 20%

😊 FelineOverlord Nov 2022 #4

Good news, muddied by what seems to be a poor explanation on his part. W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #2

Good news...thanks for posting. Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #5

Whoever Victor Shi is, SharonClark Nov 2022 #3

He's actually an impressive kid FelineOverlord Nov 2022 #7

It might be best to just edit out his tweet and just post his TargetSmart link. W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #9

Oh, maybe you would prefer more doom and gloom...Well, I don't post such things but I am Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #8

You go..right there with ya! Go Dems..screw the doom and gloom crew. PortTack Nov 2022 #25

Are you implying I'm in the "doom and gloom" SharonClark Nov 2022 #60

Shi's explanation is bad, but the data looks good. W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #12

No one but those with an "excuse" could "vote early" in PA (regular absentee ballot) in 2018 BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #19

The percentages have increased in the Democrats' favor even since 2020. W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #21

That is the correct year to use for comparison! BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #33

Yes, those are the numbers Deminpenn Nov 2022 #23

Yeah, his post is confusing. He tries to explain it but fails. progressoid Nov 2022 #32

Good news. It's unlikely many of these voters were ever polled central scrutinizer Nov 2022 #6

Yup, that is what I think. Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #10

Unless by young he means anyone under 65, young Democrats are not 81% of the electorate LonePirate Nov 2022 #11

Yeah that has me scratching my head ColinC Nov 2022 #13

That's correct. W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #14

Yeah ColinC Nov 2022 #16

They CAN'T compare 2018 to now in PA because we didn't have early voting (no-excuse absentee ballot) BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #15

Their numbers are also up from 2020: W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #18

Oh I know BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #24

I've been playing around with the site -- it's very informative! -- and I've seen... W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #35

Well CA got rid of almost all of their GOP reps BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #40

NYT just had an article about D on D action in California Sympthsical Nov 2022 #50

Well when NY itself redrew the lines BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #57

Exactly right FakeNoose Nov 2022 #29

They could probably work the touch screens better than us oldsters BumRushDaShow Nov 2022 #38

Good news -- and a great link! -- muddied by the messenger, unfortunately. More good news: W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #17

His calculation is very misleading. triron Nov 2022 #20

It is great news! PortTack Nov 2022 #22

Way up vs 2018, way down from 2020. Hard to read Amishman Nov 2022 #34

No, it's up from 2020 as well. W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #37

2020 was a presidential year...totally different ball game...18 was a big turnout for a midterm... Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #54

21% increase? Where did this guy learn math? ... aggiesal Nov 2022 #36

The explanation is in the article. Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #56

Wow, what a sloppy way to explain that ... aggiesal Nov 2022 #59

Well, there you go! peggysue2 Nov 2022 #39

This guy is terrible at explaining things. BlueCheeseAgain Nov 2022 #41

Oh, good news! electric_blue68 Nov 2022 #42

Hmm. Some other numbers that are a little different. BlueCheeseAgain Nov 2022 #43

What are you talking about...if you compare the 18 to the 22...the youth vote is up for Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #45

Mail-in voting wasn't standard yet in 2018 (a pre-pandemic year). BlueCheeseAgain Nov 2022 #48
