Reaction Article (College Students Still Face Voting Stumbling Blocks)

According to Laura Fitzpatrick in “College Students Still Face Voting Stumbling Blocks,” it described problems of students’ voting rights, such as the lack of preparation and the over strict ID laws. Furthermore, it quoted some politicians’ advices to these big problems.

In my opinion, whatever defects of polling will lead to less confidence of citizens to the government, saying nothing of students, who have much expectation to the country. If the government wants to increase the rate of voting, first of all they have to do is make people eager to cast a ballot. To achieve this goal, governments should improve the quality of booths, and set up booths as more as possible. Moreover, governments can offer free shuttles for who lives in remote areas. Second, no matter students or citizens, they should have fair rights of voting. It means not only can they vote but aren’t they restricted excessively.

I think the lower voting rate isn’t only the fault of governments, but every citizen should be responsible for that. Sometimes, we may think it is indifferent that we don’t go to cast a ballot. Actually, the outcome of election may be completely different on account of your ballot. Every one must be concerned with their country’s future, because the country’s future is also theirs. In order to improve the country’s future, the fast and convenient way is voting. For our own happiness and future, why don’t we spend a few minutes going to the booth? (246words)
