I can see a nationwide chart of what percentage of people in different age groups actually vote. I posted that chart, which shows those percentages historically. What I'm asking is how many people who voted in each age group there are. It makes an enormous difference.

In any case, Beto O'Rourke still lost his Senate race in Texas, despite that increase in turnout by the 18-29 age group. That also demonstrates something.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
