Data from early 2025 indicated that voters aged 18 to 21 favored Republicans by roughly 12 points, a sharp contrast to those aged 22-29, who continued to lean Democratic.
So they need to make sure to only draft 22-29 if they truly want to try to skew elections.
Data from 2025 is too old. You have to remember that 18-21 voters were children during Trump’s first presidency, and their political reality was defined by Covid.
They were not happy with the Biden administration, and for good reasons, so they reacted by leaning R. Now they are learning just how deeply depraved and disfunctional the Republican party is. I believe they will be radicalized into lifelong anti-Republican voters.
Check out this CNN poll from a few days ago.
A follow‑up CNN/SSRS poll conducted from March 26 to March 30 found Trump’s approval among 18‑ to 34‑year‑olds had fallen to just 20 percent, while disapproval increased to 80 percent, putting his net approval rating among young adults at minus 60
I wonder how much that has skewed - and very much for the typical narcissistic reasons - since then. But yeah, if they go by old data, they may find they have to “draft” older people.
There is a problem with that.

Good information, I sure do hope you are correct.

Good point, I think that the draft would be incredibly unpopular as well and likely change people’s perception if instituted.
