[QUOTE="TechCubed, post: 721273, member: 491"] I think some people are missing the point. Will Georgia Tech help more student-athletes vote? Yes. That's it. Waiting in line, early voting, absentee are all valid methods. They are sending a clear message that athletic commitments won't be the excuse for not voting (if they choose to wait in line). Their target audience are 18-22 year-olds who have never voted in a presidential election (and might not even be registered to vote), not a 50-year-old living in the suburbs. It's been really cool to see the impact that this has made nationwide. There are tons of tweets from non-GT fans tagging their own school's athletics department and/or coaches urging them to do the same. I hope the student-athletes embrace this and serve as catalysts to get their peers to vote as well. [/QUOTE]
