LMAO!!

I think the young vote didn't show up = Republican win isn't going to come to fruition this time around, but it's always nice to hope.

I also hope I'm instilling the need to vote in my kids. I can't even say how disappointed I'll be if they reach eligibility and blow off voting! I better see an "I voted" sticker in Nov. or no Christmas presents that year!!

I LOVE to see that! We need the younger generation involved in government. Maybe they can straighten out the mess my generation left them with?!

Plenty of young people in line in this part of Communist Virginia this morning ... young people working at the polling station as well as young people there to vote. It was a striking difference from past experiences at the same polling location.

Plenty of young folks in line this morning when I voted. They even called out "first time voter!!!" every time one of them signed in, and the whole crowd cheered- it was pretty cool.

I can't believe the number of people who wait until election day. I voted last week. Most people I know voted early (30s)
