According to @CivicYouth turnout estimate, we're looking at 53-56% turnout of #youthvote, age 18-29. https://circle.tufts.edu/latest-research/election-week-2020#youth-share-and-the-impact-of-youth-of-color-in-key-states@ElectProject has best data on historical turnout by age, with highest being 51.1% in 2008 http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/demographics
#YouthVote broke hard for Biden-Harris ticket, supporting @JoeBiden by +25pts (AP VoteCast) or +27pts (exit polls). HUGE increases over Clinton margin in key states:WI: Clinton +3, Biden +19
PA: Clinton +9, Biden +23
AZ: Clinton +18, Biden +24
I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Through a pandemic, a recession, a racial justice emergency and the climate crisis, the @NextGenAmerica team changed the #youthvote organizing game forever. Immensely proud. https://twitter.com/NextGenAmerica/status/1323429893355507712
