Two authorities on voting behavior, Ben J. Wattenberg and Richard M. Scammon, authors of The Real Majority, believe that if the 18 to 20 group had been able to vote in the 1968 election they would have voted almost identically as those in the 21 to 24 group.

Another question is the prospective turnout among the new voters. Many eligible people fail to participate in elections, the records show. In 1968 a mere 69.2 percent of them registered and, of that number, only 80.8 percent went to the polls on election day. The figures for the State of Virginia show 58.6 percent registered and 90.0 percent of them actually voted.
