There are 44 million eligible voters age 18-29 in the United States today. That fact alone makes arguing the insignificance of the youth vote incomprehensible. That 44 million is both the largest and most diverse generation in US history, having more than doubled in size since 2004, and representing one fifth of the total electorate. Over the past eight years, we, as young people, have also shown our devotion to political awareness and activity and have grown our turnout numbers every election cycle by a larger margin than any other age group.
