Fear and Loating in the Younger Electorate

I think this is a great idea -- and "kids" should be construed broadly. The reason this might be effective is not that it makes voting cool, but that it demystifies the process. A lot of high schoolers are REALLY nervous that somehow in the process of registering to vote and voting they might make a mistake and be outed as young and naive. Spend half an hour in the schools (or in the polls) with these kids going through each step of the process and a lot of those fears can be neutralized.

A good idea. So let's go do it.
