Why isn't that group on the chart?

Old farts like me always vote. From what I'm seeing, the millennials usually do not. You know who the majority of voters are? They're between 30 and 60. They're not on that chart. 51%, this year. What about them?

I hate incomplete infographics. They are a distortion, and this one is a major distortion.
