With record-breaking turnout across the map, young people have made this year the Young Voter Revolution. What's now clear is that the youth are a sizable and active voting bloc, and, even more, they are overwhelmingly voting Democrat. Young Democrats of America (YDA) are launching the whYDA project to give voice to this movement. Young people making themselves heard at the poles, and now they have a place to do so online, as well.
