Where have all the young voters gone?
Wednesday, November 5, 2003
It was election day Tuesday in a handful of states and though the numbers are not yet in, I'll bet the percentage of young voters is among the lowest in history. Turnout by young voters - 18 to 24 year-olds - has fallen consistently for three decades. If that trend continues, and there's no reason to assume it will not, that could mean trouble ahead.
