For US residents only!

RE: For US residents only!

This is where the importance of convincing the 18-29 demographic to get out and vote can be seen. They are reliably liberal but difficult to motivate in large numbers and as they get older they will skew more towards the center and the right. Find a way to get them to the polls every election cycle and the EC would become moot.

And since the elections always include many local and state offices, they could be making a very big impact at that level as well. Updated vote totals show that Hillary got 2-7 million fewer votes than Obama in 2008/12. How many of those votes would have swayed not only the electoral votes, but the balance in Congress? The governorship of some states? Other local offices, including district attorneys and judges? I think that many of the older voters in the USA have a keen appreciation for the importance of local and congressional politics that young voters do not share because they seem to think that the Presidency is the only office that matters.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
