    Yeah, why? Follow up question, do you think it’s possible to change this significantly, and if so how?

      I suspect that it’s a combination of things.

      I think that one thing that would help is if your employer was required to give you paid time-off to vote in primary, local, state, and national elections, say, four hours of time, but only if you actually voted. I’ll bet voting rates woudl skyrocket.

        Do you not think that maybe neither party tries very hard to court the youth vote? It’s not as if 18 year olds are donating to their PACs.
