CT GOP Flip-Flopping On Young Voters

Earlier this month, there was a new effort to allow 17-year-olds to vote in Connecticut primaries if they will be of voting age once the general election approaches. Ultimately, the vote fell short of the three-quarters required to pass a constitutional amendment, but what ensued during the vote was nothing short of comical.

We're talking Dean-on-Colbert-Report funny, and it has been YouTubed by the CT Young Democrats:

Six Republican members of the Connecticut House of Representatives kept switching their votes from yes to no, as WTNH reports:

"What I think we want to do is show the intent of these Republican members who, clearly, when there was a dispute as to exactly how many votes were needed to pass this amendment, they saw an opportunity to kill it and we believe they did it," SAID Lon Seidman, Connecticut Young Democrats.

Watch the video and decide for yourself. This is the kind of fun, clever work that makes me excited about the first DNC sanctioned debate, where CNN will be teaming up with YouTube.
