Rylee Barnsdale: You are listening to 89 one WEMU. It is another election year, and if the past few election cycles are any indication, Michigan should see some of the biggest turnouts of youth voters at the polls come November. Even more so, Michigan now has new laws and legislation in effect to directly impact all voters in a positive way, whether it’s through ensuring every vote casted is counted or making voting more accessible. Eastern Michigan University is hoping to keep the trends of young and first-time voters high, not only by educating students on the voting process and getting them registered to vote, but also by promoting just how important it is to have your voice be heard. I’m Rylee Barnsdale, and this is On the Ground Ypsi. Today, to discuss ongoing efforts to increase student voting at EMU, is third-year EMU political law student Naomi Barbour. Hi, Naomi. How’s it going?
