Minnesota leads nation (in voter turnout)

Minnesota leads nation

Worries about the under-representation of young people in the political process is nothing new, having been widely bemoaned for decades. But in Minnesota, young voters emulate their elders in outpacing their counterparts across the nation in turnout.

Exit polls have consistently shown young voter turnout here has been higher than nationally. Four years ago, Minnesota led the nation, with an impressive 69 percent of its residents younger than 30 turning out to vote.
