Do you know who the "Millennials" are, aside from "those kids?"

They tend to be more liberal though-- and more familiar with digital technologies. As far as voters, they're, approximately, the 18-35 year olds. That age group has tended to not turn-out for elections as much as older people. This year, according to a new ... more »
