For young voters, political activity is the first step toward recognition - A year away from the '08 election, Hopkins looks ahead
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- The Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers young voter turnout and a Hopkins group called JHU Votes.
- The News-Letter reported that in 2004, 51 percent of Americans aged 18-24 were registered to vote and 42 percent voted.
- The paper reported that JHU Votes aims to register all Hopkins students, regardless of affiliation.
- The article adds that the group includes student organizations such as WJHU, College Democrats, College Republicans and Student Council.
- The reporter writes that JHU Votes held its first registration drive and planned more.
