Because those tend to be years of national elections, hence more people tend to come out to vote.

No idea why people in his situation don’t see it as freeing. He could now vote however he wanted to; stick it to Trump for screwing his reelection and be a huge roadblock to the terrible budget bill.
Most of us would. Republicans won’t.

That’s still a massive rise in the 18 to 24 year olds, plus big surge of 25 to 39 years. And a bit of a drop in the peak centered on 65 years old.
By my reading: It’s not as visually exciting as the first graph, but it’s telling much the same story. Just with fewer exclamation points. Whadyareckon?

This kind of thing is happening all over. Best I can figure to do with such people is to go ahead and hire them but record every move and report every discrepancy around them. They want an environment of heightened scrutiny so let them live it and by god throw the book at every one of them that acts up because certainly some of them will.
