G O P Endorses Student Voting in College Communities
The Republican state central committee approved a one paragraph resolution allowing qualified college students to vote in their college communities if residency requirements are met. The measure mirrors state law with six months in state, 60 days in county, 10 days in precinct. The action aims to preempt Democratic gains among 18 to 20 year olds and aligns with prior Democratic support. The piece also notes a survey by the American Newspaper Publishers Assn. Foundation showing 5 million students use newspapers in classrooms and regard newspapers as living textbooks.
