Being that today is election day...I would be curious to know how many college students went out to vote. I can remember there was a mad rush to the polls for the presidential election but not so much this go round.
Penn State had an article that talked about the concern of college students voting. It is estimated that the turnout of college students will be low. Will we prove them wrong?
I'm not sure about that. Yesterday in my broadcasting class, the professor asked us who was voting today. Not even half the class raised their hand. It wasn't becasue they were registered elsewhere, it was because they had no clue what they were voting for and who they would vote for. Many of my peers in my class are registered in the area but they just wont vote...that raises a ton of questions.
Should the candidates reach out more to the college students? Should there have been more campus involvement like there was in 2008? What do you think? How can we prevent the low turnout that is predicted to happen from happening again?
Until Next Time...
Lauren!
