"Student Vote Mirrors Rhode Island Results"
The judges said…
"This is a neat story looking at the issue of why our youngest voters do or don’t vote. You had a great idea for the lead, pointing out the definition of 'idiot’ as someone not interested in politics. It was nice to see the quote from the 18-year-old who did vote. You did a nice job of getting some insightful quotes from the teachers to help explain the importance of this issue. You also did a nice job of weaving together facts from a variety of sources -- live interviews, Web sites and even a dictionary. Good job"
