But then again, Clinton's support dwindles by the day, so perhaps it's a good thing

No use counting our chickens before the fox changes the registrations.
Hope there are eagle eyes on this.

The video ALSO said the repugs are also part of this with their own drives to register the youngest of voters....so it has to be divided...not to pour cold water, etc, but throw some caution to the wind....

Padilla says he hopes that by registering California's youth in time for their first voting experience in November, they will become consistent voters in the future.

Blas said she knows her vote can help shape her future.

"It's not only the older people that are getting the opportunity because it's actually our future, not someone else's," she said.

Padilla's office says the youth vote is also leading online registration statewide, claiming some 500,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 have registered to vote in California since January of this year.
