This would be a point for sure, except this is a primary and the only people who can vote in it are registered party members. Young people actually registered already care enough to know it's the primary today.
This one is already decided though. Biden on the Democrat side, Trump on the Republican. If anything it might hurt the Trump side a bit, as people may not realize that the Supreme Court only yesterday ruled states can not block him.

Seems utterly stupid that you have to register to vote to begin with, but if it's a requirement, you should at least be able to register the day of the voting.
- MandieD 3y agoThere’s all the down-ballot elections, and states like Texas have completely open primaries. And states like Texas often have nearly one-party rule, so the primary pretty much is the election. Because of the party that currently owns the non-urban parts of Texas, I usually vote in that primary, despite not voting for its candidates in the general elections.
