Just hearsay and people wanting to believe that the kids weren't voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 What we do know is that 17% of the voters were young voters, and that number held steady from the previous election. Given that more Americans voted in this election than ever before, the young voters acquitted themselves rather well by maintaining that percentage. They were no worse than the general population.

swede316 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Well...17% equates to a little under 2 in 10...not much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
