All eyes are on Nevada’s young voters
November 4, 2008
The power of the youth vote in Washoe County has garnered national attention this election.
As the only major university in our swing state’s swing county, the University of Nevada, Reno has piqued the interest of national media outlets.
CBS News’ Youth Vote Blog quoted the University of Nevada, Reno campus newspaper, the Nevada Sagebrush, on the power of young voters in the state.
“In Washoe County alone, 26,478 youth voters are registered—almost 20,000 more than President Bush’s victory margin in 2004,” the article stated.
The Huffington Post took notice of the student vote, stating in one article that “UNR could be the key to the White House.”
Coverage on this site tonight will focus on the Nevada youth impact as the election results unfold.
