    So what stopped the 18-29 crowd from voting for Bernie on Super Tuesday? When it was during Covid and virtual every state allowed early voting and mail in voting.

    Even Texas, who allowed early voting at ANY polling station in your county including grocery stores, only saw a single digit turnout for the 18-29 group. >90% of them stayed home.

    That was the care for pretty much every state on Super Tuesday. No state saw even as high as 20% turnout for the 18-29 demo. 19% was the highest. A lot of the southern states that would have really boosted Bernie only saw mid single digits.
