"Educational" you mean "indoctrinational". When they are still learning about history and civics, is when they are easily influenced by their teachers' political leanings.

Smells like bullshit....

For that matter, the barrier to vote is so low that allows stupid people to vote. Lets get everybody to vote is how you ended up with Trump. Duh. You should need at least HS diploma or GED to vote.

Around 138 million Americans voted in the 2016 presidential election. From Business Insider.

However, those 138 million Americans only make up 58.1% of our voting-eligible population (those American citizens over 18). From United States Elections Project.

While these numbers seem high, our voter percentage is not higher than the 2008 (61.6%) or 2012 (58.6%) election turnout. From United States Elections Project.


Doesn't seem like there were more voters in 2016 compared to the last few elections.
