Would we get a better turnout with a voting site at SAMMY'S?

Only by the male student population age 21 and older. Now is we hired Sammy's dancers as poll workers.....

Lots of Twitter activity of students supporting/encouraging a "yes" vote. Certainly helps that in this case, the "yes" votes are a more passionate group. Those that might be indifferent and would be more likely to vote no are probably less likely to vote at all, or at least be easily swayed by the overwhelming "vote yes" supporters.

Well it's nice to see Ingram out with the students at least.

Poles on poles:

Focus people...Focus!!! lol

Focus on the poles or the polls? I'm confused.

There are now 5 poles.

Now I'm confused are there 5 poles, 5 polls or 5 Poles???

I am a little worried, Im on campus and talking around and a lot of people are voting no.

Of the ones you talked to, did you ask them why if they voted no?

Pat, I'd like to solve the puzzle...

Nice 1st post :(
I've had exactly the opposite experience talking to people on campus.

I was in the BEC for a while today and saw a good number of people voting yes.
