They are including children (literally, including babies) to get to that 9%. What a shoddy headline on their part.

"Just 14 percent of eligible adults — 9 percent of the whole nation — voted for either Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton."
9% is a flashier headline I guess.
Also:
"The overall shares were about the same in 2008, the last cycle without an incumbent president running."
BECAUSE:
"88 million eligible adults do not vote at all, even in general elections.
An additional 73 million did not vote in the primaries this year, but will most likely vote in the general election."
Don't bitch if you don't participate.
