It's totally true. The Youth vote we anchor on just sucks. The Indie vote we anchor on isn't passionate. I repeatedly reminded a friend to register to vote, he finally remembered 11:30PM the night before the Caucus and it didn't get processed and I face-palmed SO HARD. On the flip-side, experiencing the Caucus first hand, I can tell you we owned the delegate process, but also that caucuses are incredibly chaotic and confusing. I understand why people can get ballots wrong, vote tallies marked incorrect, etc. The rules are almost non-existent and you just make them up for your neighbors as you go.
That being said, I don't believe there was vote tampering in Washington State. Mitt Romney is seen as the only safe, sane choice in a group of loons. Santorum voters just liked him because he hates gays and abortion and Iran. That's just the country we live in.
Watch it, old timer. Ron Paul consistently wins us young demographic in most every state and does the worst among old people. Old people will ALWAYS turn out in higher numbers because there are more of them and they have nothing better to do than to sit around and collect their SS checks and ruin the country by voting like they have been their entire lives. Why don't we talk about 2% of 65+ year olds we got in Georgia.
