Young voters played a key role in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s victory – WBEZ (Chicago)

While younger voters are historically less likely to vote than older voters, Chicagoans between the ages of 18 and 34 cast 27,500 more ballots in the April runoff than in the February general election — a 27% increase that was unmatched by the change among any other age group — according to data released by the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.

Interesting, Brandon Johnson won by 26,448 votes, which just so happens to be about the same margin from about 27,500 ballots from aged 18-34 voters who didn’t bother to vote several weeks earlier. Nothing to see here folks, just ignore electoral rarity – young voters casting ballots in a greater percentage for a run off than the general election at the exact margin that BJ needed to win. Call it a win for progressive values, and not the obvious electoral fraud it was.
