Voter turnout Down in Nevada? Well the youth vote increased 5% over 2008

On Saturday young people made up 18 percent of voters in Nevada’s Democratic caucus, five percentage points more than in 2008. Mr. Sanders again drew more than eight in 10 of these voters. Mrs. Clinton won Nevada with 52.7 percent, besting Mr. Sanders by 5.5 percentage points. But young people were largely responsible for closing what just a month ago had been a more than 20-point lead for her

Now think about that, who wasn't showing up as compared to 2008?

Notice this isn't talked about?

and it's getting pretty tiresome seeing the youth ostracized here on DU.

It's Hillary that can't bring in new voters. She'll be the death of the Democratic Party (what's left of it).
