You're comparing two different things. It said that the 18-25 group only made up 17% of the TOTAL number of voters. Other sources have our age group at 18.4% which is about a 2% increase from 2000.
According to much of what I've seen, turnout within the age group was in the 50-60% range which isn't bad. It' just that we don't make up a huge percentage of the overall population.
