I don't know if that is confirmed or accurate. Show me the hard numbers.
Here is the story:
No youth surge
An estimated 9 percent of voters Tuesday were 18 to 24, about the same proportion of the electorate as in 2000, exit polls indicated. The youth vote accounted for 17 percent of turnout when broadened to the 18-to-29 age group, also about the same share as in the last presidential race.
Still, the actual number of young voters was up, given that overall voter turnout was higher. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6399980/Wake up and smell the coffee.
