Students Rally Last Minute Voter Registrants

Every time the walk sign allowed pedestrians to cross Guadalupe Monday, Huey Fischer quickly joined the crowd with his 'Register to Vote' sign proudly waving in the air.  The government major is rallying for last minute voter registrants to sign up to vote on the last day before it's too late.

In 2008, UT students were able to gain 6,000 voter registrants, and this year the politically-minded young people are looking to gather even more.

The students stayed on the West Mall all day, and other locations around town also registered people to vote until midnight.  Early voting begins in just two weeks.  The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 2.
