Inside a Failed Silicon Valley Attempt to Reinvent Politics

1) I'm just a messenger relaying what I heard the man say. But let me clarify, "of the total vote."

2) I hate you for making me have to track down and listen to the clip again.[1] (j/k)

3a) On the “Turnout Rates: Age” graph, the 18-29 demo consistently has the lowest turnout of all groups for each year measured.

3b) I count 8 cycles > 20% and 8 <= 20%. No other group is has similarly low numbers.

4) From the link you provided: "Pollsters have long noted that poll respondents overstate their voting participation."

Please let me know if I’m misunderstanding something here.

As usual, I see downvoting w/o explanations or counterarguments. Not sure how that helps promote dialogue or understanding, but 'Okay, thanks for playing(?)"
