On Nov. 6, 31 students on campus were randomly asked about voting. Among these students, 19 voted in the election while 12 did not. Some of the non-voters argued that they wanted to vote, but they did not obtain a absentee ballot from their registered state .
Some students were willing to share their views.

Mallorie Peterson, senior, who is majoring in sports management, voted for President Barack Obama. She said, “I think he did a good job. It takes more than four years to repair damage.”
- Hannah Lang, junior, who is majoring in mass communications, voted for Mitt Romney. She said, “Romney’s the lesser of two evils and I don’t agree with a lot of reforms Obama will, and plans, to put through.”
Non-voters:
Mark Brunson, junior, from Georgia is majoring in exercise science and did not vote. “I’m not registered,” he said. “I wanted to vote.”
