<p>I’m not sure what college student voting rates (how many vote) are in presidential elections. Do you think that will go up this year because of the potential of the US going a new direction with a black or female president?
(I’m not saying that they’d have to vote Dem, but would those options could also make voters go for McCain to avoid the alternative)? Thoughts?</p>
<p>This is the first Presidential election that S could vote in.</p>
<p>He is not your “typical” college student. He voted for Romney in the primary. </p>
<p>I think he wants to bring back Ronald Reagan from the dead for the general election… :eek:</p>
<p>hey 1sokkermom, I should meet your son!</p>
<p>Then he should meet my family: my Dad’s favorite book is his autographed copy of Ronald Reagan’s biography.</p>
<p>And did i mentioned that my dogs are Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, cleverly nick named Reagan and Maggie? I’m not kidding.</p>
<p>I think it may depend on who is actually running. The Obamaniacs may be come disillusioned if HRC is the candidate.</p>
<p>In Ohio, in 2000, Kerry registered alot of students and they didn’t turn out, so who knows?</p>
<p>A big problem for students is that many of us are registered in our home state or precinct and people forget about things like absentee ballots. This is especially true of college seniors who first registered to vote 4 years ago as HS seniors. I happened to think as I was home over winter break “oh, I should register for an absentee ballot for the primary”, but what if I hadn’t remembered?</p>
<p>I know this seems like laziness (and personally I would have skipped class and driven the 3 hours home to vote), but I wish it was a little easier on students.</p>
