College towns are not only getting bluer, but getting bluer by higher margins and driving higher turnout for Democrats in elections — in some cases, providing the party with enough force to soundly trounce Republicans in statewide elections.

Young, dumb, clueless lefties voting for the destruction of their own future.
No wonder the Democrats want to lower the voting age to 16.
The enemy within.
Well, they do promise free stuff, and we all know youngsters love free stuff because they think they don’t have to pay for it, but that is a huge lie!
Democrats: “Vote for us and we’ll wipe out your student loans.”
The young and dumb have always been a part of the Democrat voting machine.
Aren’t college students one of the lowest rates of turnout for voting? Perhaps somebody is helping them vote.
“This is the case in Wisconsin. Dane County, home to the University of Wisconsin and the state’s next-most populous county after Milwaukee, saw higher turnout in the recent state Supreme Court race than anywhere else in the state. Moreover, Democrats’ victory margin was higher than in any other county.”
Someone is stirring them up and “getting out the vote” - along with vote fraud, of course.
Southeast Ohio is deeply red and has been forever. But there is one county in the area that has been blue forever. Athens county is home to the University of Ohio (Not OSU), a liberal college that is why that single county is blue.
>>Aren’t college students one of the lowest rates of turnout for voting? Perhaps somebody is helping them vote.
Probably help them vote multiple times, once with the address of their parent’s house, and once with their college listed as residence.
All a consequence of printed, fiat money, and the MASSIVE government debt it allows.
“College Towns” are actually “government-funded-woke-social-engineering-towns”
The money has flowed continuously for at least 2 generations, so its a way of life for these places and the people there.
The government has been dumping enormous amounts of money into colleges and universities, making them more like luxury resorts than schools.
In foreign countries, even in developed countries, university is more like going to work...you go to a building downtown, take classes, study, then go home (yes I know because I’ve done this).
When the chickens come home to roost and the dollar is no longer king there will much suffering and gnashing of teeth.
Yep.
The kids have four - or more - years of a “safe haven” - which costs them dearly - before they’re kicked out to fend for themselves with their worthless degrees.
They won’t wake up until they’re 30 - if ever - once they start looking at their first paychecks (if they can find a job) - and realize how much the government is taking from them - then there is that pesky student loan that they can’t get out from under for decades.
gopE panic? Nah, just as long as they can pad their bank accounts..............meh!
College towns are not only getting bluer, but getting bluer by higher margins.
Photos of lemmings cliff diving not included.
Golly gee. Any idiot can figure this out.
But apparently RNC Chair Romney-McDaniel and her ilk can’t or haven’t.
Because they LIKE Democrats to win. There’s no other conclusion.
Should some students be voting at their permanent residence? Back when I lived out of state for college in the 1980s I voted absentee. When I was an election officer nearly 20 years ago, I saw students vote absentee.
Beware of double registration voters.
Many are never kicked out. They are trained to stay in government or some fiat-money-debt related field like social-work, activism, ESG, climate - or academia. Of course, the institutions to serve them always remain as well. Their worthless degrees, are in fact, useful to remain a woke-government crony.
Go to a place like Madison Wisconsin - there is little there, except government and education.
The good news is that college enrollments seem to be declining across the board. Some of these towns will disappear if/when the colleges they host go out of business.
At the Wisconsin Republican state convention in June, for example, a resolution was proposed to call on the Legislature to draft a bill that would require students to vote absentee in their home communities, thereby limiting their electoral influence in college towns. But the proposal was shut down amid opposition from GOP chairs of Dane and Milwaukee counties.
It does appear that the Republicans want the Democrats to win.
