Westminster College Democrats & Republicans Register Students

The Westminster College Democrats and Republicans sponsored a voter registration that yielded about 40 new students, and they handed out 30 absentee ballots for the upcoming election.

"I think that it's really important that students realize that they matter politically," said Emily Herzing, a sophomore political science major from St. Mary's and president of the College Republicans. "I'm glad to have the opportunity to show students that I am registered and vote; and that it's not something that is un-cool, but rather it is a right to be exercised."

"The reason we sponsored the voter drive was to increase voter awareness on campus," said Steve Ruperto, a junior political science and economics major from Moon Township and president of the College Democrats. "It was really encouraging to see students get involved in the political process."
