I'm going to keep sharing this info until it sinks in.

Young voters do not get significantly more or less politically activated. Voter suppression gets more or less effective. Ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting, prevents suppression.

As a benchmark for our aspirations, this is a fine document. #COVID #publichealth
