Washington – Young voters carried more political weight in Wisconsin than in virtually any other state in the Nov. 7 midterm elections.
That is one of the most striking findings about the state in an examination of exit poll data from across the country.
Voters age 18-29 made up 17% of the Wisconsin electorate – more than anywhere else except Montana (also 17%). Nationally, young voters made up between 12% and 13% of the electorate.
