OHIO: Gen Z Voter Registrations Surge (Under Age 30)

Daily Kos, June 28, 2024. SEE GRAPH at Link

The Ohio Secretary of State website publishes an updated statewide voter file every Saturday.

Comparing yesterday’s file, which includes data on new registrations for the previous week since VP Harris became the presumptive nominee, to the new registrations in the week before Pres. Biden’s announcement, shows large increases for voters under about age 30 (per chart above).

Overall including all ages, 21,838 voters registered this week vs. 18,343 the previous week, an increase of 19%. So that's an indication of increased interest generally.

56% of this week's new OH registrations were female, compared to 48% of last week's.

The situation is similar to what happened wrt registrations immediately following the Dobbs decision in June 2022, which clearly turned out well for Ohio’s Reproductive Freedom Amendment passed last November by a wide margin. ---

would quit getting lumped in with boomers. We're not boomer and we're not Gen X. First birth years to get the shaft from ragyun crawling into bed with the religious "right". The more young people getting out and voting, the better. Incels are too lazy to leave their basement/bedroom of whoever is enabling them to get out and vote.
