The low turn out in elections for 18-25 year-olds may be something to laugh at for comedian Rob Corddry, but the rest of the speakers at Boston University's rally for change saw the issue with more urgency.
On September 20, the BU Democrats hosted filled the Morse Auditorium for a voter registration rally. "If everyone 18-25 voted in the same way people 63-75 did, it would change the shape of an election," said State Senator Ben Downing (D-MA).
Students at the rally hope their efforts will pay off. Vice President of the Boston College Democrats said, "We want to make sure that people translate that enthusiasm to new hampshire directly, and to phone banks, and making sure the people get out the vote."
