BUREAU AFTER A VOTER REGISTRATION EVENT TODAY RENEE. WELL SANDERS IS KNOWN FOR HIS GRASSROOTS GROUND GAME. AND THAT’ WHAT WE SAW HERE TODAY. VOLUNTEERS AND STUDENTS SUPPORTERS OF BERNIE SANDERS. WE’RE AT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY TODAY HELPING STUDENTS REGISTER TO VOTE. TODAY’S THE LAST DAY TO MAKE SURE SOUTH CAROLINIANS CAN CAST A BALLOT FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY FEBRUARY 29TH. IT’S REALLY JUST IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD. THAT’S WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT AND STUDENTS DON’T VOTE ENOUGH YOUNG PEOPLE DON’T VOTE ENOUGH. OUR VOICES ARE REALLY DIMINISHED AND AND WE’RE SEEING THE RESULTS OF THAT CLEMSON WAS ONE OF SEVEN DIFFERENT COLLEGES AN AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE THERE’S A CAMPAIGN HELD STUDENT VOTER REGISTRATION EVENTS BY ACTUALLY REGISTERED TO VOTE. I’M SO IT’S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME TO BE INVOLVED POLITICALLY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE LIKE AS A STUDENT LIKE I WANT THE CHANGES IN LIKE ESPECIALLY WITH HEALTH CARE POLICY TO BE BASED OFF OF WHAT I THINK’S RIGHT, EVEN THOUGH IT’S JUST ONE VOTE. IT’S IMPORTANT IN A RECENT TWEET THE CANDIDATE WROTE THAT QUOTE IF YOUNG PEOPLE COME OUT AND VOTE IN HIGH NUMBERS, WE CAN FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM THIS COUNTRY. BUT SOME STUDENTS SAY UNDECIDED ON WHICH CANDIDATE HAS THEIR VOTE. HONESTLY. I HAVEN’T REALLY LOOKED AT IT LIKE VERY MUCH AT ALL. BUT LIKE YEAH, YOU SEE THE BIG ISSUES. IT’S LIKE MY PARENTS ARE TELLING ME THAT FOR TRUMP. SO MAYBE I’LL MAYBE A LITTLE NOW IMPORTANT THAT WE POINT OUT AT ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT VOTER REGISTRATION EVENTS THAT WERE HAPPENING BY SANDERS REPRESENTATIVES OR RATHER TO SAY VOLUNTEERS FOLKS WHO SUPPORT HIS CAMPAIGN. THEY WEREN’T REGISTERING TO STUDENTS TO VOTE FOR THAT CANDIDATE. THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS HERE IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA BASICALLY FOLKS NEED TO DECIDE IF THEY’RE GOING TO VOTE IN THE FEBRUARY 29TH PRIMARY AND THEY NEED TO REGISTER BY TODAY. SO THE CAMPAIGN SETUP THEIR BOOTH AND WE’ WE’RE CHECKING TO SEE IF STUDENTS WERE. JUST STIRRED IF STUDENTS WEREN’T REGISTERED THEY OFFERED TO HELP THEM REGISTER. OF COURSE. THEY ALSO SPOKE ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS AND WE HEARD FROM SOME WHO REALLY SUPPORTED THE CANDIDATE OTHERS WHO WEREN’T REALLY SURE AND SOME SAID HE JUST WASN’T THE CANDIDATE FOR THEM. I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT I’LL BE COVERING BERNIE SANDERS AND MY COLLEAGUES AT WYFF4.COM BE COVERING DIFFERENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AS WELL AS THE ISSUES WILL HAVE ALL OF THAT FOR YOU ON WYFF FOUR.CO
