Is it too early to review voting number?

I have been tracking military presidential voting for 2012 and 2016. The charts you see are that evidence. As you look at the voting results for both OVERALL and Veteran specific populations by age how do you expect those in the 18 - 44 yr old group will turn out to vote?....

I respect everyone's opinion who leaves a comment. I have been tracking voting for some time now, especially veteran voting compared to OVERALL.

I'd be interested in knowing your attitudes and concerns in exercising your right and responsibility to vote. I don't care who you vote for or why. But, as an American and a veteran I care that you are engaged and are using responsible thinking for making your voice heard.

I like active respectful debate and I believe it is not too early to engage our voices and our dreams for the future, because the past is always - history!!! We have the present and have to look to the future!!! That is what the Founders meant by the hopeful language of "....to form a more perfect union...!"

I am looking forward to hearing from the RP family!

I can't bring myself to vote for any of the democratic candidates and I'm not voting for someone with the integrity of George Costanza(yes that's me making a knock at Trumps integrity)

I've voted in every major election since I've been of age and many of the local ones. I've found myself voting more for independent candidates more and more as I find the major candidates to all be the same. Unfortunately voting isn't very meaningful as the real choices are made before names are even put on the ballot. It's Like when I give my child the choice to brush his teeth or put on PJ's first. It's the illusion of choice. I don't care if anyone votes or not, very little will change regardless.
