"Voting as a liberal. That's what kids do." These are the words of New Hampshire's new Republican state House speaker William O'Brien.
New Hampsire is pushing for a law that would keep college students in the state from voting.
Democrats are arguing that the real goal is to remove the power of core Democratic voting blocs (young people and minorities).
"There's no doubt that this bill would help Republican causes," said Richard Sunderland III, head of the College Republicans at Dartmouth College. But, he added, "this doesn't help if the Republican Party wants to try to win over people in the 18-to-24 age range."
