Jonathan Becker Discusses the Midterm Elections on Radio Kingston
Acting President Jonathan Becker.
Acting President Jonathan Becker was interviewed on Radio Kingston’s Middays with Julia about the US midterm election results. The episode, “A Big Win for Civic Engagement in the Midterms,” emphasized how voters exercised their civic rights during the midterms by turning out to vote. The conversation between Becker and host Julia Furlan was particularly focused on youth voting, which Becker recently discussed on MSNow. They also discussed the challenges college students may face in getting original identification documents, as well as the record turnout for young people in this election cycle. “This was not an inconsequential election,” Becker said. “In spite of challenges to voting, so many people got to participate, and that’s wonderful.”
On Election Day this year, more than 400 voters turned up to vote at Bard’s Campus Center polling site. Election@Bard, a student-run initiative that helps students register to vote and provides information about candidates, held nonpartisan get-out-the-vote efforts including early voter vans, “dorm-storming” with peer counselors who delivered election information to residents, and tabling.
