So I was listening to the radio this morning and heard the latest Gallup poll results for the presidential candidates. There were two sets of numbers: total respondents and "likely voters." The commentator went on to define "likely voters" as white, older, and voting in the last election. People of color and young people are not really expected to go to the ballot box. Hmm, could that be true? Even this time, when there has been so much enthusiasm among people of all ages and backgrounds? Are you going to stand for that? Nah, I didn't think so.
So if you haven't already registered to vote, here is some info on doing that. Registered in another county or state? It's not too late to switch your registration to somewhere closer by:
In Tennessee
Register to Vote or Check your Precinct Location
Anywhere else
Project Vote/Rock the Vote
Also, the MTSU Library will host a voter registration table on September 24 and 25. We'll remind you later.
Not sure who you're voting for? Check out these sites to see where the candidates stand on the issues.

For all those out there who are not sure who to vote for, but would really like to vote; check out this tool at ABC.com. It gives quotes from each campaign, you select which quote you agree with the most, and after a few questions it will tell which politician you agree with the most. The web site is http://abcnews.go.com/politics/MatchoMatic/fullpage?id=5542139 if thsi does not work go to www.abcnews.com select the politics tab, and the link is toward the middle of the page.
