They want to vote. They are no longer allowed to vote on campus

Yes, this is real.

Perfect plan! Everyone knows 18 to 22 year olds are in no condition to walk a couple miles! This will totally thwart the student vote.

Bitch they walked further home from their last one night stand. And that was in a fairy costume in freezing temps the night after Halloween.

Bitch they got Uber.

Bitch you just gave them a social activity centered around voting.

You literally just got more people to vote.

I think their not usually wrong expectation was the students would decide it was too much trouble to do it. Good on them that they are more driven than many.
