    There is a problem with that.

    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.

      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.

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