TO THE EDITOR:
Voting is a privilege. Or at least many of our predecessors felt this way. Women and African-Americans fought for this right.
Those under 18 look forward to the first election when they will be able to vote. Yet with early voting moving from the Planetarium to Franklin Street, there is a concern as to whether students will turn out to vote. Really?
The students of UNC take the hike to Franklin to meet friends for dinner or for a night out; if students appreciate their privilege to affect their government and ultimately the environment which they live in, they will find a way to make it out there.
Maybe this move will be beneficial, ultimately detracting uninformed voters from simply going in to vote just because it is convenient.
