Who are young voters showing up to support?

Checking on the Youth Vote

This past fall, I took part in a tabling effort for my College Republicans chapter on the commons of my predominately liberal college campus. We gave out flyers with information about our weekly meetings for the semester to those who passed by, along with free promotional items like koozies, stickers, and pens. We joked that this might be the only time you’d catch Republicans giving handouts.

I was shocked by the number of students who responded negatively, facing us with a stand-offish attitude or even blatantly stating “I don’t know what I am” with regard to their political affiliation. The realization that something I am so passionate seemed to be a non-issue for many of my peers stirred an unsettling feeling within me. This was even more shocking considering that my college, Longwood University, will have the distinct privilege of hosting the 2016 Vice Presidential debate come October.
