Break cycle of low Millennial turnout at US elections

THE Millennial vote can massively influence the US presidential election. Members of the Millennial generation such as myself - Americans born in 1981-98 - have drawn more or less level in numbers with the 1946-64 Baby Boomers, who up to now have formed the clear majority of the US electorate.

Young Americans may be the king-makers. There's only one thing we need to do: go out and vote.

Millennials are the most diverse US demographic group - 57 per cent white, 21 per cent Hispanic, 13 per cent black and 6 per cent Asian. An overwhelming majority view themselves as socially liberal, regardless of whether they are Democrat or Republican.
