As the U.S. presidential elections approach, voter apathy, particularly among young and minority voters, looms large. In battleground states like Georgia, where Democrats narrowly won in 2020, candidates are intensifying efforts to engage non-voters. Political scientist Bernard Fraga highlights that registration barriers contribute significantly to low turnout, with half of young voters not participating. Despite a campus atmosphere of political engagement, many students still face challenges, like transportation, impacting their ability to vote. This youth abstention may bolster Republican advantages in critical states.
