Taking a look at the age distribution in #NY14 Democratic primary, where @Ocasio2018 upset @repjoecrowley.
Notable: you don't often seen the under-40 vote rival that of the over-60 vote in a midterm primary.pic.twitter.com/URSP5Nk9OC
When we put @Ocasio2018's primary victory into the context of registered voters, we discover an unignorable bump on the young end for #NY14 registered Democrats. Overall, the primary saw about an 11.9% turnout.pic.twitter.com/5yYfjYkYtM
If we scale the #NY14 age distributions of both registered Democrats and 2018 Democratic primary voters, as percentages of each population, we can see that Democrats between the ages of 60-80 still outperformed in turnout.pic.twitter.com/sna8BnGhca
So could @Ocasio2018's surprise #NY14 upset happen in the Midwest? There are many variables to that question.
Here's that primary's age distribution compared to one of Ohio's most liberal districts: #OH09, which was also contested this year.

Right: percentagepic.twitter.com/5Nuixq6jek
We can break the #NY14 age distributions down by the state election districts each candidate carried.
Older voters had a massive turnout advantage in districts won by @repjoecrowley (gold), but look at that younger vote in districts @Ocasio2018 carried (blue).pic.twitter.com/zhEsUslbYx
The deluge of mentions I've received tells me people are skipping something key in @Ocasio2018's victory: her win wasn't without older voters.
Yes, young #NY14 voters had a better-than-expected showing. But they still underperformed.
Under 40 turnout: 10%
60 - 80 turnout: 16%pic.twitter.com/fxkClJ9ciJ
Where do you get this data?!
I see a cat. But then I am a cat.
I’m curious about the person(s) over age 100 who voted? They must have some thoughts. Also this is really cool! Thank you for sharing!
