Why Did You Vote Today?
Students talk about the issues that matter on Super Tuesday
Since 18-to-25-year-olds make up 14.4 percent of the country’s eligible voters, it’s not hard to see why presidential candidates spend time and money at universities, competing for the young vote. But are they getting it right?
In the days leading up to Super Tuesday, we took our cameras to the Student Union and asked students which issues they feel are most important this election year. Is it the Iraq war or the faltering economy? Health care or gay marriage? Watch the video above to find out.
