Manchin urges area students to register to vote
Secretary of State Joe Manchin visited three Mercer County high schools urging seniors to register and vote in the November 2004 election. He challenged students to support democracy, quoting Lincoln and noting the 9/11 deaths, while stressing voting over protest when troops are in harm’s way. Local officials accompanied him at each stop, including Rudolph Jennings and Sheriff Buckner, with participation from Caldwell and Disibbio in Bluefield and Long, Draper, and Moon in Princeton.
