We registered another 150 students to vote here in the last two days. Combined with the first semester National Voter Registration day sign-up, that means about 300 Political Warriors registered to vote at Dub-V this year!
That's great.
Now to bring you down a bit, that is just a bit less than 50% of the likely seniors now age eligible to vote. All this means, we are about right in line with the ratio that about half-of the eligible voters in the U.S. actually register, and about half that are registered, actually go out and vote in most elections.
