In contrast to Political Science Society President Sarah Willig’s observation that most Stern students showed “remarkable dedication” in utilizing their voting privileges, uptown student Avi Posnick, who has been closely involved with many of the Society’s events, said via e-mail that he thought the “majority of the students were apathetic.”

“I’m sure there were many students who voted,” he said, “but I have a feeling, and I don’t mean to be so negative, that it was a small minority of the overall student population.”

He added that the students he did speak to seemed to be evenly “mixed” in their support of the Democrats or Republicans, and added that it would be very interesting to poll YU students to determine the percentage that voted for each party.
