Politics Sep 26, 2012 4:55 PM EDT What drives young voters to the polls? And how is each presidential candidate looking to harness their energy?

Judy has a piece on the NewsHour Wednesday night exploring the youth vote, and we chatted about why she decided to focus on this group. Doing her reporting in battleground Ohio, Judy noticed a lot of younger voters are turned off from politics, and feel the candidates aren’t representing their efforts. Cassie M.
