Take solace in the fact that 74 million of the 331 million are between the ages of 0 - 17 and ineligible to vote. And those 74 million kids? We need to make sure they have the best educations and information possible so they can make informed decisions as they grow and age. They will be a test of our ability to change course for every US American as well as those who have come to our shores for a better life.

Now, the rest of those folks, that last 25%? That's who we need to focus on now. Why don't they vote and what will change their minds about voting?

Oh my: I completely forgot about young people when I was talking about population. I’m just drinking my first cup of coffee over here, so that’s my excuse! :) thank you for moving to adult population!

Yes, why didn’t they vote, etc? Excellent questions.

? I'm not sure what you mean. I looked at stats for the approx number of children 0-17 years if age in 2020 and several sources said 74 million. What am I missing in re 112 million?

Daria, I was trying to calculate what part of the population was left that didn't vote. If we have a population of 331 million, and approx. 145 million voted, and 74 million are 0-17 yrs, that leaves 112 million, doesn't it? Spoiler alert: I'm not great with math.
