Author Says OLD PEOPLE VOTE Should Be DILUTED
What was said
"Young people do show up in greater numbers for presidential elections. But just as an example, in New Mexico in 2024, the median age of primary voters was 72 years old."
Samuel Moyn argues that older Americans can wield outsised influence in low-salience elections. He claims New Mexico’s 2024 primaries had a median voter age of 72 and suggests reforms such as fewer elections and easier voting access for younger workers.
