It makes extra sense because it includes ages 0-17

Votes for people 0-17 count double so they should vote extra hard.

No I don't have any idea what they're talking about either.

They're assuming (probably correctly) that a lot of people under 28 won't vote, and that (probably less correctly) they'd vote Democrat if they did vote. So if Trump wins and they pass a random 28 year old on the street, they're thinking there's a good chance that person is partially responsible for Trump's win.

Appreciate the clarification

People 18-28 vote least frequently in the US

Ok that makes more sense thanks. 28 seemed very arbitrary but if the statistics say so...
