A New Electoral Map Has Brought Youth Voters Into the Spotlight

Our importance and potential to drastically affect the outcome of the election cannot be understated. Swing and battleground states like Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, Colorado and Florida could all be decided by young voters, and the effect could mean a drastic change to the entire electoral map.

Young voters can and will be a huge part of that transformation, and we will help to shape the course of the country for the future. Youth voters have too often been cast off as apathetic or insignificant in number, but the evidence this year have proven otherwise, and to be sure, 2008 is not a year for either campaign to ignore the importance of young voters.
