It may not be unusually higher but there will be many more first time voters than the last one many experts reckon. Wish I could find the piece about it.I don't expect voting rates to reach unusually high levels this time around but I suspect they may be a bit higher and I really expect that very few people who haven't enjoyed the Donald Trump POTUS Experience will forgo the chance to vote him out this time regardless of what the polls say about who's more likely to win.
Admittedly I'm saying so from the vantage of the Boston metroplex.
Thing is Trump his base and the GOP dont seem to care that many 18 year olds may swing left unless off course they grew up in hardened red areas.
Both parties need to recognize there is potential to get these votes. Sanders and Warren on the left seemingly popular among them.
