Political Science Students at USU Reflect on Election and the Impact of Young Voters

A group of USU political science students gathered together on Election Night to watch results come in, as there were no public watch parties for Cache County Democrats or Republicans. Among the students were Joseph and Alicia, who shared their thoughts on the importance of young people being involved in politics and voting. Despite feeling uneasy and nervous about the outcome of the election, they emphasized the significance of young people participating in the democratic process as they are the ones who will inherit the future. Joseph expressed excitement about spending the evening with others who were as invested in the outcome as he was, highlighting the uplifting elements of being engaged in politics with a community rather than alone. The students shared their hopes and fears as they awaited the election results, acknowledging the impact it would have on their lives and the importance of staying informed and active in shaping the future of the country. The event served as a reminder of the critical role young people play in shaping the political landscape and the need for their voices to be heard in the decision-making process.
