How registered are you? The Lariat recently asked you about the restrictions on partisan voter registration drives at Baylor, your political lean- ings and registration status. You responded and here are your answers. Of those that wished to specify a political party 41 percent were Republicans, 38 percent Democrats, 6 percent Indepen- dent and 3 percent were either Libertarian or Constitution party. When asked if they were registered, 96.8 percent said they were 3.2 percent weren’t. Only 10 percent had ever registered at a registration drive.

The government has ruled that partisan or- ganizations should not be prohibited from voter registration drives. All over the country, politi- cal parties and their activists can send text mes- sages, e-mails, and even drive people to register to vote. Why should our campus be any differ- ent? People are smart. The notion that someone might vote for Obama just because the Baylor Democrats hosted a registration drive is absurd. There were not even any signs or indications that the Baylor Democrats were in charge of the drive! An average person walking up to the table would have no idea.

People need unbiased facts so that they can make up their own minds and not be influenced by an organization pushing an agenda.
