The youth vote . . .wait a minute

IN Ohio, we are told how so many people were challenged when voting, but then CNN makes fun of youths who will listen to bruce or Dixie Chicks sing but not get out to vote.

How do we not know these guys sent in provisional ballots?

How can you tell the age of the voter?

don't bash the kids yet. . .

2. yes, I don't like being blamed...

We have been voting, my 18 year old sister's vote and my 22 year old vote went to kerry...everyone we know voted for him, it is extremely important to so many of us younger voters. This election effects us more than anyone, and most of us realize this...well...the educated ones of us.

4. People who make fun of youth

Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 02:19 AM by GinaMaria

are the people who are jealous of youth, imho. We need to get their backs. They were likely challenged especially on residency at college. For many this was their first election. I support their efforts. Thanks for voting. CNN can lose viewership with comments like that.
