It will be interesting to see how the methods to increase voter turnout will affect who comes out and what their voting patterns will be due to anchoring/recency/etc. It's possible that this demographic may be more apathetic at the moment and thus more impressionable. On the other hand, we could have segments that are politically motivated but do not have the reasonable means due to socioeconomic circumstances such as not being able to miss time from work, family, etc.
