When I first voted back in the early 1970’s I had to ask my local election board to send me an absentee ballot to my college so I could vote when I turned 18. It was the first time 18 year olds were allowed to vote before that you had to be 21 years of age to vote. They lowered the age due to the Vietnam War (18 year olds were being sent off to die)
I dont know when the law changed that these kids could register to vote on their campuses, but if you ask me we should go back to having them request absentee ballots from their home counties.
They have made it too easy for them to register and vote on these campuses and now to help foreign born students to vote, too
If we went back to having them ask for absentee ballots I bet you’d only see the ones who really motivated to vote do so.
