The fact that Calfornia has several large universities full of 18, 19 and 20 year olds. They tend to vote Democrat.

This is why Berkely and Santa Cruz is so socialist. Small college towns where the largest voting block are temporary residence.

Giving the vote to 18 years was a mistake.

Giving the vote to 18 years was a mistake.

A result of the age of military service, IIRC.

Couple the above with sufferage, and you have a really interesting voting block, of folks graduating out of the public school system, with a very slanted and uneducated view of what an election really means ten, or twenty, years down the road.

Fireproof suit on before posting.
