3. Unfortunately, the registration stats don't show a breakdown

of unaffiliated voters by age.

I did a spreadsheet, but the best I could do was track the registration changes by county. It does look like in some counties the Inds were a fairly close match to the D losses, but not consistently. It could be the result of our closed primary system where voters who want a say on candidates have to register with a party, then they switch back to Ind for the general election.

The breakdown by age is:
18-24 Ds - 344.5k and 25-34 Ds - 702.5k for a combined 27% of Dem voters
18-24 Rs - 286.2k and 25-34 Rs - 480.6k for a combined 21% of R voters
18-34 Libertarians total 21.2k
