While the number of young people on the voter rolls has dwindled since the 70s, many predict this year will be different. The war in Iraq has captured the attention of American youth, soldiers and cynics alike. And with the lesson that every vote counts still fresh from 2000, organizers are hoping that this will be the year that young people replace apathy with activism, and decide to show up and be counted.
