On a rainy day after a marathon two-year campaign race for the White House, George Mason University students registered on the Fairfax campus finally boarded vans to cast their vote.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been running vans to and from W.T. Woodson since the polls opened,\u201d said senior Student Government member Andrew Roth, who volunteered to drive one of the MasonVotes three shuttle vans, \u201cand so has Students for Barack Obama.\u201d
\nThough their name may sound partial, Students for Barack Obama did take non-Barack Obama supporters to the polling place. \u201cWe all have the same goal,\u201d said Roth. \u201cWe just want to make it easier for Mason students to vote.\u201d
\nDuring midday, many students said their long-awaited poll experience at W.T. Woodson High School ran rather smoothly.
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t have to wait very long at all,\u201d said first-time voter and Mason student Brittany Higgs, \u201cand they had some great little arrows to point you to the right place.\u201d
\nOther students using the vans have responded similarly.
\n\u201cMost of the students I have asked have gotten in out within around ten and fifteen minutes,\u201d said Roth.
\n\u201cI actually waited longer for the van than to actually vote,\u201d said Higgs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
