The morning after the highly anticipated Pennsylvania primary, campus newspapers are
reporting record student turnout. The Penn
State Daily Collegian and a local paper report a turnout of 4,433 voters at student
heavy precincts, up from 444 in the 2004 primary, with at least 2,000 students
voting at one on-campus polling place.
The Daily Pennsylvanian reports around 2,500 Penn students voted, a
thousand more than voted in the general election in 2006. As has been the case in most but not all
other states, exit polls showed young voters broke heavily to Senator Obama.
