2. and it's amazing, given the illegal suppression of the college vote--my daughter almost gave up

since it wasn't on her campus, but we're driving her back to the other side of the Triangle to vote in her home precinct on Tuesday, which is a privilege many of these other students don't have.

A survey a few days ago said that 1/3 of NC State students planned on voting Tuesday at the Talley Student Campus Center (as they had done in the past), except they didn't know that the GOP had ELIMINATED THE ON CAMPUS SITE, AS THEY HAVE ALL OVER THE NORTH CAROLINA EXCEPT AT APPALACHIAN, where the students managed to successfully challenge it in the courts.

At Duke voting was at 85% when the site was on campus next to the Chapel. Now that the site is forced off campus, the students are having more difficulty figuring out how to vote and many are giving up. Before on-campus sites the voting rate was 25%, no doubt the goal of our treasonous friends in the state GOP.
