I think the #1 problem is defining “youth voter” as 18-29.

College age is 18-24, but I don’t see anything looking specifically at that demographic.

For 18-29:

…tufts.edu/…/state-state-youth-voter-turnout-data…

“Nationally, CIRCLE estimates that 23% of eligible young Americans cast a ballot in the 2022 midterm elections.”

Now, problem #1, that’s a mid-term election which always draws lower voter participation.

2nd is looking at 18-29 instead of 18-24.

“The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 54.1% of 18- to 29-year-olds voted in 2020, which had the highest youth turnout overall of any election in the 21st century.”
