Young people turning out to vote? No way!

The Virginia Pilot concedes more young people are registering to vote in the Commonwealth. But they say it could be an anomaly due to normal population growth. They also question weather higher registration means higher voter turnout. The Chair of the Republican Party of Virginia, Jeff Frederick suggests youth turnout will be predictably low for the fall elections.

That’s what he thinks.

Mr. Frederick hopes and wishes youth turnout will be low this November the thought of young Virginians coming to the polls in droves must keep him awake at night. He knows that this is the year of the young voter and young people are not just going to vote in large numbers this fall but overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates.
