Why college students don't vote absentee? They don't know where to buy a postage stamp

"Vote or die." Unless, it’s too hard to find a stamp.

A Fairfax County focus group this summer found many college students who have gotten an absentee ballot simply fail to send it back because a U.S. Postal Service stamp seems to be a foreign concept to them.

"One thing that came up, which I had heard from my own kids but I thought they were just nerdy, was that the students will go through the process of applying for a mail-in absentee ballot, they will fill out the ballot, and then, they don’t know where to get stamps," Lisa Connors with the Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs said.

#3  I'm calling bullshit.

Lisa Connors with the Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs said, they don’t know [students] where to get stamps.... The focus group included college interns from across numerous [Fairfax] county departments.

Which college is she talking about in Fairfax, George Mason or University of Route 1 NOVA? If she is referring to University of Phoenix alumni, she wins.

I'm call it how I see: Mrs. Connors is an idiot and needs to buy a vowel to catch a clue.

"If we raise the voting age back to 21, and lower the drinking age to 18 we would make almost everyone happy."
