I was hoping for a big media blitz about all the college and some high school students walking out to vote across the country.
I know they can vote after school but the peer pressure of sheer numbers would be a great motivator.

(6,496 posts)Polls are open until 8pm in my state. Some places close as early as 6pm I think, but still, it can be done after school. There were plenty of early voting and absentee voting opportunities prior to today. It's called using time wisely. They used to give scores for that when I was in school. I would not want my kids doing anything like that. Go to school, go to work, and still vote. Don't skip out on your other responsibilities. Voting is important, but so is school and your job.
