One of the many reasons why 3,000,000 more Americans voted for one presidential candidate more than any other.
If we actually lived in a democracy where we have a say...
I do believe we're at a tipping point and hope voting Millennials will put us over the top, in a good way.
Combined, millennials and Generation Xers cast a slight majority of total votes cast, more than Boomers and older voters for the first time in decades.
This result wasnt a surprise, because the number of millennials who are eligible to vote has been growing. As of April 2016, about 69.2 millennials were voting age about the same as baby boomers.
Pew predicted that it is likely, but not certain, that the millennial vote will surpass Gen X in 2020. Pew made no such predictions for the midterms in 2018.
