    Voters by age shows the baby boomers bulge and how birth rates declined. The boomers are dying off and the millennials are hardly a factor. The pie chart shows how much republicans control this state.
    Thanks Bruce. Lots of work. Interesting stuff.

    I am becoming Republican so I feel better about voting Democrat or Indy and get a full ballot. Why are elections so complicated for such a low population state?

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Soon the snakes at city hall will be driven out by the term limits flute.

  6. I would like to know what percentage of the baby boomers are registered to vote versus the percentage of millennials that are registered to vote.

    An does the baby boomer bubble have more to do with their numbers, or their interest in civic duty versus younger generations, or both?

    With the new mayor, there should be an ordinance that Huether never existed. From Hero to Zero. Rather, SiouxperZero.

  8. So does Con= Conservatives

    What is Lib? Is it liberal or Libertarian.

    I guess I’m asking if the stats are based on party affiliation or ideological affiliation?
