The first election I was old enough to vote for was '88. I was a sophomore in college. One of my professors was very adamant about voting and one day several weeks before the election (plenty of time for registrations to be processed) she got voter registration applications from a poli sci professor to give in her classes to those who weren't registered. I wasn't registered yet, so I filled it out. She turned them all in to the poli sci professor who promised to send them for processing. A couple weeks before the election we asked her about it since no one had received their voter registration cards yet. Turns out the whole batch from all her students got "lost" after she turned them in to the poli sci professor, and they got "found" after she asked about them. By that time it was too late to process them before the election, when I finally got mine after the election it was dated the day after the election. Needless to say she was livid. This is the interesting part....the professor who encouraged us to register was a music professor, and the poli sci professor who promised her she would take care of it was running for a local election under on the Republican ticket. I never had any proof but I suspect since all these came from the music school, someone in the poli sci department might think they would have all voted Democrat, so the applications convienently got "lost."
