Youth Delegates at DNC Outnumber Those at RNC 15 - 1

There will be 631 youth delegates from all 50 states (and several territories) at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, or 14.9% of the 4,234 total delegates. Adding in pages and alternates, young people make up 16% of the total official DNC convention participants.

I just received word that there will be - um - slightly less youth representation at the Republican National Convention. The RNC will feature 42 youth delegates, or 1.76% of the total 2,380 delegates. These delegates come from only 24 states.

14.9% vs. 1.76% of the total delegates. 631 delegates vs. 42 delegates.

That's a 15 - 1 ratio. And it's not just grassroots "celebrity support." These are activists and future players within the party. If that doesn't tell you something about the directions in which these parties are heading, nothing will.
