“Vote today!”

As I was walking out of Hill College House this morning to begin covering Penn for Obama’s on-campus effort, a guy wearing a “Barack the Vote” shirt reminded me that today is, in fact, the Pennsylvania primary.

After informing him that sadly, I’m registered in California and cast my vote on Super Tuesday (and kicking myself for thinking back then that Pennsylvania wouldn’t matter), I continued across campus to find students stationed on the corner of 34th and Walnut, outside of Upper Quad gate, and on Locust Walk.

According to Penn for Obama co-president Julian Harris, the group has split the campus into five zones — Locust Walk, Spruce Street, Walnut Street, College Green, and the High Rises. They’ve been sending volunteers to each of these locations throughout the day, and will continue to do so until polls close tonight at 8 p.m.

I’ll add more about student responses and what Penn for Obama volunteers said, but for now I’m off to talk to more people who are out campaigning across campus. Check back later today for more updates on the way Penn for Obama has been getting out the vote on campus…
