Young voters make up significant portion of new registrations in key states since Parkland shooting

If you are fed up (as am I) at all the posts on Trump's approval (including approval of his Putin debacle) AMONG REPUBLICANS ONLY-- that serve only to emphasize that any loss in R's has resulted in the hyper-committed and most sycophantic voter, I offer you the following. Bless those Parkland kids for leading on this:

Young voters are flocking to register to vote in key battleground states in the wake of the February school shooting at a Parkland, Fla. high school, according to a new analysis from Democratic data firm TargetSmart.

The report, released exclusively to NBC News, shows that young voters between the ages of 18 and 29 years old make up an increasing share of those registering to vote in a handful of key states.

Pennsylvania has seen the sharpest increase—61 percent of new voter registrations come from young voters, compared to 45 percent before the shooting.

Virginia, Indiana and New York have all seen an increase of about 10 percentage points in the youth share of new voter registrants, while Arizona and Florida have seen gains of about 8 percent. All of these states are home to some key Senate or House races that will play a crucial role in deciding control of Congress.

1. Whoohoo, hope young folks can turn purple FL blue!

With them and the people here from Puerto Rico, unless russian repugs dial up the cheating to nuclear level, we will win!!

2. Definate increases in the key States that gave trump the White House.

That map tells us where the Parkland generation will hang their hat.

News of the NRA ties to Russia & money laundering will only help this along.
They have a right to feel betrayed by everyone but a straight Blue ticket. We all were.

Encouraging news!

Thanks hlthe2b

Will be interesting to look at again in a couple months.
