Who Voted in 2008? - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

  • The
    highlights: 64% of the 204 million voting-age Americans voted, up about
    6 million in number and 4 percentage points from 2004.  Historically
    underrepresented groups made gains in this election.  Non-whites made
    up more than 90% of the increase in the total number of voters.  The
    authors conclude that had non-whites voted at the same percentage as
    whites, more than 5 million more votes would have been cast in 2008. 
    The study, by Douglas Hess and Jody Herman, finds that had voters under
    30 voted at the same rates as their counterparts over 30, more than 7
    million additional ballots would have been cast.

Who Voted For Hamas? - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

  • I think another issue here that’s rarely noted in these discussions is
    that the median age in the Gaza Strip is 17.4 years. This is, in other
    words, primarily a population of children we’re talking about. They
    didn’t vote for anyone.
