not worried about getting nior citiz ns to vot
on ov. . However, they are worried who
they'll vote for once at the polls.
"As far as turning out nior citizens to vote,
I don't think we have to worry about that," id
Greg Brock, chairman of the Macomb County
Republican Party. "We need to get our me ge
out to tho e people."
A greater percentage of older citizens than
younger individual turn out for elections, ays
Craig Ruff, p ident of Public Sector Consult­
ants Inc.

American National Election Studies of the Uni­

In the arne year, the turnout of individuals
17 to 24 y rs old was 52 percent.
