Reply to comment by Seasnek in Young voters are so important by mooscaretaker

I always think local govt works, you can go to your local board or council or whatever and have a one on one conversation there. But I also think politicians and people in power are more accessible in RI compared to most other states. Voting on local issues is where someone can actually see the difference voting makes.

I completely agree. Also to note, most 16-18 year olds are pushed to focus on COLLEGE APPLICATIONS. They are stressed the heck out to even think about making a difference. Even then, they can't get invested because they're most likely going to be moving out of state for school. I'm curious how many 18 year olds in RI are transplants or grew up here.
