51 people voted on the University of Illinois campus in the last midterm election
You have got to be kidding.... That is awful. I've been working on all my friends here at Illinois to vote. Going to send in my absentee ballot tomorrow. Hopefully UI puts on a better show this year.The Democratic candidates for State Rep as well as Congress here had an impressive season of voter registration at UIUC, so we'll see how many more vote this time. You should be voting here on campus, though. IL-13 is likely more competitive than your home district.
P.s. I know there's probably some political reason, but why don't they fill up Foellinger Auditorium down here for a gubernatorial debate? I guarantee the place would be packed and that would probably lead to most of them voting.
They actually tried to host a debate between Rauner and Quinn at Foellinger, but Rauner's team declined (Quinn accepted). It would have been cool.
