Elizabeth Warren Launches Plan to Get More Young People to Vote

Agreed that colleges and universities should have polling places on-campus, admittedly surprised if some don't. Not sure about allowing pre-registration at 16 rather than 17.

Lack of people generally voting or young people voting is probably a hard to precisely determine mix of them being satisfied with the status quo and them being so dissatisfied with it that they don't think anyone can fix it.

According to the article the initiative is to expand early voting, not about preventing it from being taken away.

Yeah but it won’t prevent state legislators from overturning the popular vote within a state. Federal legislation and getting rid of even a way around the weaknesses of the electoral college are necessary. And that’s not even a discussion about how screwed up the electoral college and two senators per state is

Imposter or is this like the 'alt-right' label which the out-of-touch right came up with to describe what is the majority of their brethren?
