Updated Stat

Ok so after further review on my two topics I decided that I needed to completely start over. I was trying to make this project way too complicated (go figure) and so I went back to my research and found some much simpler, yet highly intreging information/statistics which I can compare to other stats and make visually beautiful :)

A. There are 50 Million potential voters in the 18-24 age range, which is slightly less than 25% of the electorate. 
B. Of these 50 million, in 2000 only only 36.1% actually cast a vote, as compared to 52.1% in 1972. HOWEVER...we are making a huge come back, because in the 2004 election 46.7% voted!
With our generation being the largest the United States has ever seen, we have the potential to make hugely significant changes in our country if all of us actually went to the polls!
