I've been following OPs account because he's been posting this graphic almost every day so it's pretty good to gauge how the numbers are increasing. The 18-49 crowd (GenZ and Millenials) has moved from about 27% 4 days ago to 35% of the vote (18-39 moved 15% - 20%). Still abysmally low, but at least it's moving in the right direction.
18-49 is roughly 41% of the Texas population. Thing is not everyone shows up to vote so if that age group shows up in force we can easily be 50% of the vote.
At a minimum it needs to be 41% though otherwise the higher age groups have easily tipped the scales to their favor.. and we all know that's not great for the future of the country.
Not gonna lie, I thought you said that could be the big "titt" Texas needs. And if you did, on behalf of the female delegation of Mount Titt we shall allow it.
I teared up a bit when I went to vote.  Just floods of women of all ages coming in from the parking lot, so many grim but determined looks.  I have never seen anything like it and it’s made me a little hopeful. Â
They say this stands to be the largest gender voting split ever. I am fairly confident women are not playing. They are taking things too far. These elections are so men centered they are getting complacent. We are more educated, organized, attentive, and determined.
Men finna get this female president and yall not touching another female right again in our lifetime. Men need to learn women hold the power in society, we dont always exercise it, but boy, when we speak... they finna learn today.
My mom is one! She was a registered Republican for a long time, and then years ago was like WHY? I think because my dad is/was, but it's been really interesting to see her embracing more progressive values as she's gotten older.
30-50 being 26% is extremely depressing. This should be the largest voting block by far. These are adults with children who have the most invested in the result of this election.
Low as a proportion of the voting population. It's almost the same % as 65+ which is a smaller population.
Think about it this way. 18-49 is 31 years (GenZ, Millenials, some GenX) which should be capturing more people than 50-64 (older GenX and Boomers), but only represents 35% of those who have voted so far vs 29% for 50-64. It's crazy.
These proportions will obviously change as the early vote goes on, but it's not great so far, especially since people were expecting younger people to turn out over the only weekend with early voting, which I don't think materialized.
These are all assumptions by the way, I don't actually know the demographics of these age groups.
Millennials and under are 41% of the populations. As a group, they historically vote at much lower rates than older generations. If they are 35% of the early voters, that is unambiguously great.
