In today's Notes on the News (11/28/20) published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), I discovered to my surprise:
"Young voters helped Biden secure victory, particularly in college towns in top battleground states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania."
WSJ also wrote an article (dated 11/26/2020, behind paywall) about this: Young Voters Helped Biden Beat Trump After Holding Back in Primaries College towns in particular aided former vice president in top battleground states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Joe Biden, on his third run for the presidency, defeated President Trump. WSJ’s Jason Bellini reports on his path to victory
"In fall 2018, total undergraduate enrollment in degree-granting postsecondary institutions [in the U.S.] was 16.6 million students" (Source). Apparently, these students did not make too much of a difference when it comes non battle ground states. But WSJ suggests we ought to believe that those about half a dozen battleground states students made all the difference? Where these perhaps votes that were counted multiple times?
An interesting theory that the WSJ spins! I think it is baloney!
