McGraw-Hill Higher Education Initiative Encourages College Students to Become Life-Long Voters

To support student participation in the voting process, McGraw-Hill Higher Education (MHHE) online learning sites have added a direct link to Project Vote Smart, http://www.vote-smart.org , an independent, nonpartisan, citizen's organization that provides cost free state-by-state voter registration information. The voter registration initiative was inspired by Professor Thomas E. Patterson of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and the author of two McGraw-Hill American government titles, We the People and The American Democracy. According to Professor Patterson, research shows that citizens stand a good chance of never voting if they do not vote in one of the first two or three presidential elections of their eligibility.
