DEMOCRATS GAIN IN STUDENT VOTER REGISTRATION

Thanks to Florida Politix for the heads up...

Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Dr. Arthur Anderson recently conducted a voter registration drive among students in the area's high schools for those who are or about to become of legal age. Palm Beach Post political columnist George Bennett noted today that of the 1,871 students who registered, 48 percent (898) chose the Democratic Party. Over one-third (36% / 676) registered with no party affiliation, and only 16 percent (300) selected to affiliate with the Republicans.

While the GOP has made sizable inroads in Palm Beach County, as elsewhere in the state, Democrats still enjoy a 45-to-32 percent registration edge

While it may not mean a great deal in the total scheme of things, one has to consider that Iraq is something that many young people are considering when deciding what party to select.
