In 2010, the gap in voter turnout between those with and without a college degree (61-35) was almost exactly the same as the gap between under-30s and over-30s (51-24).
If the concentration of GOP support in whites without college degrees proves persistent, the Republicans' structural advantage in midterm elections is going to take a big hit.
Just another reason why the GOP is working so hard to weaken the integrity and inclusivity of the ballot box, and why protecting that integrity is so essential to democracy right now.
If the GOP can permanently shrink the electorate, their white nationalist turn will pay off in a very big way. If they fail in that project, they're in for an ugly ride.
The GOP project of placing barriers in the way of voting among people of color is well-known and hugely important. But this is why they're trying to trim pieces off the white electorate too.
