New voters who never cared about politics previously, and may have just started paying attention when they to college and realized everyone there does. There's a precedent for that being the case at least heh
I feel like this implies the youth vote matters anywhere, and the one thing we all know is young people don't vote.
Yeah, that's why all these college campuses have had protests. They don't care.
That's not something new, young people traditionally have strong political opinions and fail to turn out for elections. Even in presidential elections, which are the highest turnout for the demographic, you're looking at maybe 40% in the standard year. Turnout was better during COVID when tensions were high and there was a lot of momentum to get Trump out, but even then it was in the realm of~50%.
