Keeping College Students from Voting

Attention college students: You may not be able to change these practices, right now, but you should know where you can legally vote and prepare to vote absentee if you have to. And then contact your state reps and senators and your secretary of state (of the state, not Mrs. Clinton) to complain.

Here's a snippet of the editorial.
Political leaders should be encouraging young adults to participate in civic life, but many Republican state lawmakers are doing everything they can instead to prevent students from voting in the 2012 presidential election. Some have openly acknowledged doing so because students tend to be liberal.
