(67,782 posts)....he wasn't a youth.
A Texas man waited nearly seven hours to cast his Super Tuesday vote, then left to work his late shift at 1:30 a.m. He had no complaints.
It felt good, Hervis Rogers told the Houston Chronicle Tuesday night.
Rogers was the last voter to cast a ballot at that primary spot and he did so after the AP reported Joe Biden had already edged out Bernie Sanders in the Lone Star state. The former vice president got just over 34% of the vote and captured 70 delegates. Sanders finished with 30% of the vote and 60 delegates. President Trump will be the Republican candidate on the 2020 ballot in Texas.
Rogers, who brought his own chair so he could sit while waiting to vote, wouldnt divulge who he supported.
No, Im not gonna say, he said smiling. I think it was the right choice.

The lack of enthusiasm among younger voters was especially pronounced with turnout up 33 percent from 2016 among every group across Super Tuesday states.
For example, in North Carolina, overall turnout was up 17 percent youth turnout was down 9 percent, John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Institute of politics told Power Up. There's not evidence to suggest that Sanders has expanded the electorate among young people in important ways. ....
Della Volpe said data doesn't necessarily support the idea that all young voters want the kind of sweeping policy changes candidates like Sanders are calling for.
Problematic for Sanders?: When looking at young Democratic primary voters, bold structural change is preferred, but not by as much as you might think, Della Volpe told us at the time after an IOP study released in November

(58,773 posts)inexcusable in Dem states and districts. If we're for expanding voting rights, we need to follow through on it.
It's easier to blame Repub areas like Texas, but still, it's inexcusable.

And CA has weeks and weeks of early voting--it's one of the most pro-enfranchisement states in the nation--so, despite all the issues with the new voting machines across LA county, it was still a relatively simple process

BUT
Long lines are a way of life in black neighborhoods and they turn out in very large numbers... year after year...
