Here we go with the Math again
Guess you missed it last time, three men walked into a hotel looking for a room. The clerk at the front desk said he had only one room left but he would give it to them for thirty dollars, ten dollars apiece, to which the three men agreed. A bit later the clerk felt he charged them too much, so he gave the bellhop five dollar to return to the three men. The bellhop couldn't figure out how to divide five by three equally so he made it easy and gave them a dollar apiece and kept two dollars for himself. So ultimately the three men wound up paying nine dollars apiece for the room
If the men each paid nine dollars, three times nine makes twenty seven dollars, and the bellhop kept two, making it twenty nine dollars, what happened to the other dollar?
Get the point this time?
No, as none of your hypothetical is in any way relevant to my point about the ignoring of the comparative percentage of the total electorate that the youth vote is comprising in both cases...
All that has happened in your scenario is that the moron bellhop who failed grade school mathematics has thieved $2 from the hotel company. Additionally, in real life, one of the three people would just end up paying a penny more than the other two paid... ($8.33 + $8.33 + $8.34 = $25.00)
But to directly answer your "what happened to the other dollar" question: Nothing happened to it (the question is phrased in a misleading way).
$30 (original charge) - $3 (actually refunded to the tenants) = $27 (actually paid by the tenants since the bellhop is a thief) - $2 (thieved by the bellhop) = $25 (supposed-to-be new charge to the tenants).
In real life, this hotel company obviously has VERY VERY bad internal controls over their petty cash...
Now, back to what I am actually talking about... When one compares 205K youth votes against 25K youth votes, that (on it's face, anyway) looks like youths are turning out in record droves... However, if the youth vote (for 18-29yr olds) is only making up <8% of the electorate, down from 10% (for 18-24yr olds), then that means that the youth vote is actually DOWN, not up... Astute observers will also notice that 18-24 does not equal 18-29, so adjusting for that difference to make it an equal age group comparison makes it even WORSE for Dems... In other words, the 18-29 age group in NC this cycle is turning out LESS than the 18-24 age group did last cycle...
Dems love to play such games with math, since their target audience (such as yourself, and numerous other Dems on this forum) is mathematically illiterate and will just take their word for it instead of analyzing the data for themselves...
This is why you are too stupid to realize that Dems are actually fairing very poorly according to early voting data...
