When making sense of the youth voter turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, there's good news, bad news, and some more good news.

The estimate suggests the midterm elections marked the highest level of participation among young voters in the past quarter century.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
