What Happened to "Vote or Die"

Post by theski »

The same % of 18-24 years olds voted 17% ... I thought the concerts and the rappers were going to get out the vote.... ??

It would seem that P. Diddy has a lot of killing to do.

Seriously though, young people just don't vote, no ammount of glitz or glamour is going to change that. It's a maturity thing.

We got just over double that last time in Britain and it was hailed as a symbol of the apathy of the young (although it was down from 60% in the previous election).
