CP exit polls – Dems getting the student vote

With arrival of Election Day, students scurried to the polls to cast their votes on marriage, pot and the gubernatorial candidates.

Many appeared to side with the Democrats, but a few students voted more conservatively.

Here’s what some student voters at the Boulder High School and University Hill Elementary School polling stations had to say:

“The vote for governor was Bill Ritter. I like him a lot better than I like the other guy. For Congress I really don’t like any of them. There is just so much mudslinging this term, who knows what they will be like when they get up there. Also, I don’t see a point to have a legal system for homosexual couples to have a legal right. They can already have this through a power of attorney that doesn’t belong in the Constitution. As far as the pot amendment, if it passes they should have it taxed like alcohol.” — Zak Beach, senior civil engineering major

“I’m planning on voting Democrat across the board unless there is a green party, and then I’ll vote for them. I will definitely vote yes on Amendment 44.” — Heidi Crespi, freshman environmental design major.

“I am planning on voting pretty much Democratic across the board. The unfamiliar amendments I don’t think will pass because we haven’t heard a lot about them.” — Ian Hunt, senior political science major.

“I voted fully Democratic on everything except for the judges because I had no idea. However I did vote no on Referendum I.” — Grant Kleinwachter, senior business management major.

“I voted mostly Libertarian, and Republican if it wasn’t an option. I voted against Referendum I. I don’t see why the government should be involved in our personal lives.” — Ashley Neumann, sophomore political science and economic major.

“I voted Bill Ritter and yes on 44 because I’ll be 21 soon and I don’t see why I wouldn’t vote for it.” — Jodi Feigenbaum, sophomore psychology major.
