As teachers, why not this week, devote 1/2 of your class time to civics and the importance of voting. If you have 18 yr olds in your class, find out those registered to vote and have a "field trip" to the nearest voting location so they can vote.
Percentage of turnout so far by age range: 18-29: 5% 30-39: 7% 40-49: 11% 50-59: 17% 60-69: 26% 70-79: 24% 80-89: 8% 90-99: 1% Over 100: <1%

I am 74 and definitely do NOT want the 70’s crowd deciding our fate in America—they’ve done nothing but screw it up so far—come on, 18 year olds—help us! BTW, taking two under 21’s to vote tomorrow!

older people know what gender they are, I certainly would trust them more!

Unless every age group has the same number of people, the %s don’t really tell me anything.

This isn’t the percentage of each group that has turned out. It is the age breakdown of all ballots that have been cast.

I'm in my 60's and have voted everytime since I turned 18. It's not hard or take long. And now with early voting or vote by mail it's even easier. No excuse.
