From the "We've Done Good" department comes this bit of a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Young voters carried more political weight in Wisconsin than in virtually any other state in the Nov. 7 midterm elections.You can read more of the article at the link above. Or you can read the post that inspired this post on Daily Kos.
Voters age 18-29 made up 17% of the Wisconsin electorate - more than anywhere else except Montana (also 17%). Nationally, young voters made up between 12% and 13% of the electorate.
"We lost all these college-town seats," Janesville congressman Paul Ryan said. "The marriage amendment clearly complicated the turnout situation, which did not play to our benefit in many ways."
