Virginia Tech Young Democrats and members of Barack Obama's Campaign for Change in Virginia hosted an impromptu gathering on the front steps of Squires Student Center Monday morning to encourage fellow Virginia Tech students to register to vote in Montgomery County. The group convened to dispel "misinformation and false statements" circulating around campus concerning legal repercussions of registering to vote in Montgomery county.
A recent Collegiate Times article contained an interview with Montgomery County Registrar Randy Wertz who warned students that changing their voter registration to Blacksburg could have implications on their tax status or financial aid. Wertz also released two memos last week. The first, on Aug. 25, cautioned students to registering at their university addresses. On Aug. 28, Wertz released a "revision"
According to the Virginia Board of Elections, it is up to the student to prove their domicile to be where they go to college.
"By registering here, (students) consider this their domicile," Wertz said in the article. "They need to check with people once they claim this is their permanent residence. They need to check with tax attorneys or insurance people" to see whether they might be affected.
Chris Cox, the Students for Obama Virginia Tech chapter coordinator and a junior communication major, called on potential voters to compel their associates to ignore the "misinformation." Cox said attempts to "confuse or dissuade (students from voting) are undemocratic."
Representatives for Campaign for Change drove from Richmond to students.
After Ben Schoenfeld, a senior computer engineer, spoke about his experience in changing his voter registration to Montgomery County, Liz Emanuel, the Campaign for Change youth vote director, echoed Wertz's general sentiments while maintaining that students are capable of registering at their university addresses. She said the best answer to any questions potential Montgomery County voters have as to their individual situations should be addressed to lawyers, their insurance companies or scholarship providers. But she contended that only in extreme cases could students who changed their domicile and voter registration to Montgomery County possibly fall victim of adverse implications.
