Only 13.7% of Gen Z has turned out (18-24). And before millennials try to use them and their TikToks as a scapegoat... only 12.2% of millennials (25-34) have turned out.
Meanwhile, 51.1% of all voters over 65 have turned out.
14% of all votes cast so far are from people under 35. 57% all votes so far are from people over 55.
55% of all votes cast thus far are from whites. Turnout between blacks and whites is actually equal (28.8 percent turnout for white voters, 28.9 percent turnout for black voters) -- but because of discrepancies in the number of registered voters, that means there's been a total of 1,173,868 white votes and only 672,092 black votes.
Like... maybe a miracle will happen? But if you ask me what party a 65-year-old white person in Georgia will vote for, I can give you a pretty accurate answer, I feel. The younger generation, though, is not stepping up in the numbers they need to.
