I haven&#x27;t checked on this, but I would wager that a rather disproportionate number of 20-29 year olds would find it much more difficult to vote than people in their 60s. Sure, it&#x27;s probably possible to register in advance and get a mail-in ballot, but that is rarely done and I expect there&#x27;s some hoops to jump through there. As far as actually going to the polls, young folk tend to work jobs that make that very difficult, if not quite impossible. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, and your job doesn&#x27;t afford you paid days off, and you&#x27;re scheduled to work that day, then you&#x27;re just going to work and not vote. Anything else would set you back in a way that would be more immediately damaging than not getting your vote. And even if you could afford to take an unpaid day off, in spite of it being illegal to prevent someone from taking time off to vote, I expect it would put most people in the bad graces of their employers to exercise that right. And it&#x27;s hard to prove that your rights have been violated when you get fired for being &#x27;unreliable&#x27; or just get scheduled for fewer hours the next several weeks because &#x27;that&#x27;s just how the schedule worked out&#x27;. These employers aren&#x27;t trying to disenfranchise the young, they&#x27;re just acting in their own best interests by maintaining control and keeping people working, and the current job market gives them far too much leverage. And that&#x27;s not even getting into people with kids.<p>Compare this to 60+, who are probably often retired or semi-retired, or working a job at a higher level where they&#x27;ve earned some form of paid time off, or are financially stable enough to just take the day off without pay, etc. They have no kids at home to take care of. They can much more easily just head over to the polls that day, without having to make extensive arrangements in advance.<p>*And no, this isn&#x27;t universal, just general trends. Yes, some young folk have professional positions with paid time off, some don&#x27;t work. Likewise, some older folk are stuck working crappy low end jobs to make ends meet. But when we&#x27;re talking percentages, I&#x27;m rather confident that the older generation is more likely to be able to go out and vote on one particular day in November.
