Changing the Game

"OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Legislature approved on Tuesday a bill to suspend Washington's 2012 presidential primary, a move that will save more than $10 million as lawmakers struggle to close the $5.1 billion budget deficit for the next two years. Instead of a primary, Washington will revert back to a caucus system, which involves neighborhood meetings where people sign in to choose a certain candidate. Caucuses historically have a much lower voter turnout than the primary system." Seattle PI

So how will this effect college students?

Well depending on when  and where the caucuses are, Students might not even be able to attend. In other words you will only be able to vote on the general election. For most people this will not be too big of an issue. But in times like this when so much rides on the future leaders of out nation. I would hope the youth could get more involved in working to reform there nation. With changes like this however I for see once again the college age students getting the short end of the stick.
