If you forget the fact that the only Democratic voters allowed to caucus in our service industry economy were part of Clinton’s strategy to win the political machine in Las Vegas, then yes, perhaps Democrats truly did make a spectacular showing. In truth, though, Democrats and Republicans need to unite in the fact that there are “Proud Dems” and Proud Reps who would accept any candidate who can flatter Nevada for a week.

The statement that turn-out was “low” among youth voters is too general and gives no sense of the remarkable and humbling numbers of people who turned out for the event that occurred last Saturday, compared to other states/other elections, yes, turnout was low, but this is the first time that our caucus was in January, the first time we had the 2nd caucus in the nation, and the first time that anybody in the Nevada Democratic Party organized a caucus; but compared to the previous Presidential Caucus in Nevada, on February 14th, which only had 9,000 participants turnout was exceptionally high. Instead of being gloomy and cynical you, Nick Coltrain, should report more facts to put things in perspective, no event is a microcosm and I hope you learn this before your next article.

Then, the paper version of this article states in a large red font only 5% of the total participants were 18-29, when in the article itself you give multiple figures. What troubles me is the headline. Youth voters turned out a lot more than I believe the media is giving them credit for. That misreporting makes it appears as if the youth vote is not important and will only hurt students in the future.
