I've always been skeptical about the 18-year-old vote--
there's something about less maturity being required to vote than to have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at the ballpark--

The youth vote was helpful. The women's vote was too. So were the real Americans who want America to continue, and not set up a dictatorship. Women who voted to get their rights to make their own decisions about their bodies, families, jobs and lives helped too.
