Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.
Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.
Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.
Motivation is a big factor. Don’t forget, humans are generally lazy when not otherwise driven. And let’s be honest, Joe’s about as motivational as an afternoon nap. This just gave those unregistered people the luck in the ass they needed to get it done. Considering that like what, only 40% of the population? or something actually votes, finding a way to motivate some of those non-voters is a big deal.
I’m motivated AF to take an afternoon nap, but I’m glad Joe’s out.
