And even though November’s election is over — with President-elect Joe Biden flipping the state blue for the first time since 1992 — Flicker isn’t finished. She’s now working closely with the Young Democrats of Emory to register even more people ahead of Georgia’s two high-stakes Senate runoff races, the outcome of which will determine which party controls the Senate.

During the general election, voters 18–29 made up 20 percent of the Georgia electorate, according to NBC News exit polls. As the Jan. 5 runoffs draw closer, young Georgians on both sides of the aisle are working to mobilize their peers to vote again — or for the first time in their lives.

“I think that teenage complacency is something that has been trendy,” Flicker, 20, said. “But seeing the way that my generation, in particular, has stood up and fought for what we believe in … that is how you make change.”
