Changing exit polls methodology ( https://twitter.com/sfcpoll/status/1235598822136516609?s=21 … ) makes year over year comparisons tough w/o looking at raw vote. So combo of
@CivicYouth estimates vs precinct-specific stuff at http://NextGenAmerica.org/turnout is giving me hope. But definitely a mixed bag across country
