College voters

I sent both the UMD and Scholastica student newspapers a letter suggesting that they not vote on the recent operations levy. It began:

“When UMD students go to the polls Nov. 4, unless you are from Duluth, please don’t vote on the Duluth School District’s three questions for additional operating money.’

Based on a precinct by precinct election analysis I concluded that their participation which seemed minimal would not have affected the outcome.
