Maddow pointed out that young voter turnout lower than in 2016

35% in 2016 -- 28% now

1. The biggest lie of the campaign season of 2020 is that Bernie is energizing new voters to come out

It simply isn't showing up in the data during the first four contests.

2. Even with the splinter of the votes he has less than in 2016.

[George II]

4. His votes have been down in every state so far.

8. Eggs-actly. And too bad it turned out this way.

With all the hype surrounding his campaign, if those young folks don't show up to vote ... it will be a lot more like "full of sound and fury signifying nothing."

[George II]

3. What? That can't be true...

[Moderateguy]

9. Their participation has never been higher...

They tweeted their votes

[LiberalFighter]

15. There you go. That is the strategy to use.

Tell them they can vote by tweeting them.

[guillaumeb]

5. That is a concern.

And younger voters have even more to lose if Trump remains.

6. Those numbers are percentages, they don't tell you whether turnout was higher or lower.

For example, if turnout if 2016 was 100 people, and 35% of them were young, you'd have 35 young people turning out; and if turnout today were 1000 people and 28% of them were young, you'd have 280 young people turning out. So in that case, those 35%/28% numbers would be consistent with a 700% increase in young voter turnout!

10. Bingo!

Wait until the actual numbers emerge. Also, those are exit polls, which ALWAYS end up being adjusted later because they are usually inaccurate.

So far we've seen increased turnout in all three states, with New Hampshire getting record turnout. Let's see if that holds in Sourth Carolina.

[George II]

11. CNN has reported that turnout has been very high.

[Squinch]

7. It's a revolution!

[rickford66]

12. Maybe a lot of people have decided to vote for the Democratic candidate no matter who

14. I went for a coffee at Barnes & Noble yesterday,

sat at a table and 2 young women sat at the table next to me. After a couple minutes I casually asked one who she was voting for. She said, "I dunno". I asked her "are you going to vote?" and she answered, "I dunno". The other one just looked puzzled so I asked her would you vote for Trump? She said, "I don't care". They both looked like 19-20 years old.
It's just a stupid anecdote, and doesn't mean anything.

Then I thought.... Eloi
