Students try to text the vote

Montgomery County Sentinel - 2008-08-08

Thanks to student volunteers on the University of Maryland's College Park campus, 650 people received text messages on Aug. 7 reminding them to register to vote. Volunteers spent the afternoon asking peers to contact their friends as part of the "Text the Vote" campaign, which was the beginning of an intensive effort to register young voters for the 2008 election.
