TWO THIRDS OF NYU STUDENTS WOULD GIVE UP THIS YEAR'S VOTE FOR A YEAR'S
TUITION

POLITCO - Two-thirds say they'll do it for a year's tuition. And for a
few, even an iPod touch will do. That's what NYU students said they'd
take in exchange for their right to vote in the next presidential
election, a recent survey by an NYU journalism class found. Only 20
percent said they'd exchange their vote for an iPod touch.

But 66 percent said they'd forfeit their vote for a free ride to NYU.
And half said they'd give up the right to vote forever for $1 million.

But they also overwhelmingly lauded the importance of voting.

Ninety percent of the students who said they'd give up their vote for
the money also said they consider voting "very important" or "somewhat
important"; only 10 percent said it was "not important."
