  1. Florida follows the trends we’re seeing in other swing states. Newly registered 18-44 year olds (democrats/no party affiliation) turnout to vote at a higher rate than previously registered 18-44 year olds (democrats/no party affiliation). We need to fill the leaking hole by getting the people who aren’t registered (more than 40,000,000 nationwide) registered to vote.

    Big thanks to the team for pumping and organizing the data!

  2. Regardless of political affiliation, elections should be state and federal holidays, with ample transportation.

  3. That’s common sense though. Someone young who actively registers is obviously more likely than someone who has been registered for years or decades but isn’t enthusiastic.

    That’s just percentages though. Newly registered voters, as shown on this graphic, is an EXTREMELY small percentage of the population. 

    It looks to me like the more valuable strategy is not losing those voters who voted in 2020 but not 2024. Obviously that’s not to downplay the importance of young voter registration, but saying “the strategy is simple” is a bad takeaway from this data. 

  4. You also need to offer them a left politician to vote for, which the dems don’t seem to be able to do. Completely icing out Zohran Mamdani when he is clearly offering a message that people on the left and people who aren’t very political want to hear.

    Saying “We just need to register young people” is a trap the dems keep falling into. Assuming that people will support them because they are not republicans while offering a half-baked neoliberal platform that favors large corporations and supporting a genocide in Palestine. Give the people some to vote for, not something to vote against

  5. Oh hey, it’s the guy who thinks that no one has ever thought of registering young people to vote because they literally have no idea about how fucking anything works

  6. if they want younger people to vote for democrats they need to push the democratic party left or find more left leaning candidates to run. the consensus couldnt be any clearer, bernie and zohran are some of the most popular politicians in the country, they are both socialists. its not a coincidence.

    but i dont think thats going to happen, i think the dems are controlled opposition, they are complicit and unwilling to change, so instead we are just going to continue to slide into fascism.

  7. Isn’t that everyone’s strategy? Dems repubs green libertarian? What political party is just saying nah we don’t need voters?

  8. Give us something to vote for. We are not going to vote until you do that.

  9. Not going to have much left-leaning youth left, until the party separates itself from evil

  10. Blue dot here in red Florida; I hope for this to happen daily, I wouldn’t bet money on it but I hope for it.

  11. How you going to get young left leaning people to vote (mostly men) when everything about DEI shits on men and tell them they aren’t allowed?

  12. Obvious often doesn’t translate to feasible, as demonstrated here. “If we all just…”

  13. I left Florida years ago but when I was a high school Junior, Debbie Wasserman Schultz hit every single school in her Broward County district getting us to vote. For all her faults, that’s important and valid work.

    Fast forward some 16 years (before we moved out of state), she was our neighbor 4 doors down in Weston and put on a hella awesome halloween display, I respect that.

  14. Hang on, isn’t “newly-registered voters” probably the most likely to vote in any election? Those are the people who are currently performing politically-active tasks, so it seems obvious that they will tend to vote more often than average.

    Has that been accounted for in this research?

  15. Thats a tall order these days. Democratic Party is at all time low, with no rebound in sight. When their platform relies heavily on keeping racism alive, letting illegal aliens walk right in, sex changes for minors and being soft on crime, not may good americans can get behind that. hell they still think hitler and nazis are a thing lol

  16. If people aren’t interested in voting for a party it’s because they aren’t offering anything to entice them to plans their time doing it.

    The “obvious” strategy you claim doesn’t magically get these voters motivated if the candidates suck.

  17. Florida should be an incredibly easy state to win if you focus on a climate change agenda. The entire state is at risk of being flooded, ravaged by hurricanes, and getting unbearably hot.

  18. Not voting but being a Democrat when Trump is on the other end is mind boggling.

  19. Cool. The problem is the young are statistically the least likely to actually go out and vote. Why do u think politicians try to cater to old people? It’s because old people are statistically the most likely to vote.
