Young Voters

There are so many ads and commercials about young voters. I am registered to vote, but I found it was difficult to register for college students. If they do not live in the state where they go to college, a student must register as an absentee voter. My parents are great and I admit I am not very independent. Because of this my mom assisted me with registering. If she had not been so helpful I do not think I would have made the dead line. I understand how important voting is but is there any way to make it easier to register for college students? These are the voters that the country needs most. Did anyone else find it hard to register if they didnt live in the state of their college?

I think this is an important question. We do a lot to assist "first timers," but it does seem that college students should have a better (or more publicized) support system to help them exercise their right to vote.
