number of their Democratic com-
rades, took the stage in a room
plastered with campaign signs
and blaring energetic music.
Dingell said in an interview
before the event that this year's
election has had the strongest
Democratic effort to date.
"We have the best, most effec-
tive get-out-the-vote effort in this
district that I have seen in my
career," Dingell said.
He added that his campaign has
continued to work on garnering
support for all of the Democratic
candidates on the 2012 ballot.
"We are going to do everything
we can to re-elect every Democrat,
from President Obama down,"
Dingell said. "We're goingto see to
it that we get the same kind of good
votes for our non-partisan court
candidates."
State Rep. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann
Arbor) said in an interview before
the event that campaigning
throughout Election Day would be
instrumental for persuading unde-
cided voters.
"For the top of the ticket, voters
usually have their minds made up

particularly for judicial candidates
and the ballot proposals, people
can be swayed by a last minute

issues, according to the Associ-
ated Press.
Election monitors typically
represent a candidate or organi-
zation at polling places. They are
not allowed to interfere with pre-
cinct activities or sway voters in
any way, but instead are present to
help protectvoter rights.
On Friday, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice said it would send
more than 780 federal employ-
ees to oversee voting practices in
23 states. Since the 1965 Voting
Rights Act was passed, the depart-
ment has dispatched observers to
election sites to protect against
discriminatory practices.
In addition to gathering infor-
mation on whether or not poll-
ing centers are following legal
voting procedures,. the Justice
Department poll observers work

candidates to speak to the enthu-
siastic crowd of students and com-
munity members filling the room,
emphasizing the importance of
affordable education, economic
equality and President Barack
Obama's health care reforms
Stabenow said the Obama
administration has been especially
important to the state of Michi-
gan because it stood with the auto
industry, bailing out Chrysler and
General Motors, when no one else
would. She added that the next
four years should be focused on the
population as a whole, and not just
special interest groups.
"Community is our strength,"
Stabenowsaid. "Caringabout other
people is a good thing."
Stabenow said that though
a slew of billionaires have been
funding the Republican campaign,
come Election Day, their influence
is restricted to their one vote.
"This is not an auction, this is an
election," Stabenow said.
Bernstein appeared with fel-
low Democratic regent candidate
Shauna Ryder Diggs, and spoke on
the significance of the University
for the future of the state, and his
own commitment to providing stu-
dents with the lowest tuition and
best resources possible.
Bernstein said the products of
a University education have the
potential to positively impact soci-
ety.
"What happens in the lab and
the classroom can change the
understand the ballots if English
isn't their first language.
"To assistinthese inquiries, the
department has deployed observ-
ers and monitors who speak Span-
ish and a variety of Asian and
Native American languages," the
department said in a press release.
University Law Prof. Margo
Schlanger wrote in an e-mail that
the Obama campaign has trained
hundreds of lawyers and law stu-
dents to monitor polling sites,
including in Ann Arbor, to ensure
eligible voters cast ballots cor-
rectly.
"Student voters often run into
identification and other compli-
cated voting issues," Schlanger
wrote. "Poll watchers can help
sort out those kinds of problems."
According to the Brennan
Center for Justice, a non-par-
tisan public policy institute at
the New York University School
of Law, poll monitors and other
partisan observers cannot chal-
lenge a student's ability to vote.
Only 'official poll workers can

world," Bernstein said.
He added the choice on Tues-
day's ballot is more than just
between candidates - it is also
about alleviating issues such as
skyrocketing tuition and tuition
equality.
LSA junior Alexandra Brill, the
president of College Democrats,
said the rally was successful in
instilling excitement about the
election amongstudents.
"(The rally) pumps people up
and makes sure everyone votes all
the way down to the bottom of the
ticket," Brill said.
Brill said the College Demo-
crats plan on puttingup flyers and
chalking the campus following
the rally to remind people to vote
Tuesday.
Self-proclaimed political
enthusiasts LSA junior Victoria
Whitworth and LSA freshman
Tiasha Nandi held a Stabenow
sign at the event, and said they
plan on waking up together at 7
a.m. on Tuesday to vote.
Nandisaid the University atmo-
sphere has caused her to pay more
attention to election issues and
participate inthe politicalprocess.
"I think college has made us
more politically aware," Nandi
said. "It's important to take a
stand and be knowledgeable about
what you're voting for."
Whitworth said the diverse
perspectives come together at the
University have made her election
experience unique.
question a student's residency.
Because students are able to
select their voting residency,
they are unlikely to be chal-
lenged. However, if questioned
by the election inspector, stu-
dents can answer questions to
prove their eligibility, which the
inspector will then approve or
reject.
Students may find themselves
particularly susceptible to vot-
ing issues because of Michigan's
identification law. Every voter
must display an acceptable form
of photo identification, such
as a driver's license or pass-
port, in order to vote. However,
there is no address requirement,
enabling out-of-state students to
vote without issue.
Students without a photo ID
can sign an affidavit of identity.
MCards are also an acceptable
form of ID.
If students feel monitors are
intimidating or influencing their
vote in any way, they should con-
tact an election inspector.

theme of Monday night's Rom-
ney rally.
In their last plea to Michigan
voters on Election Day Eve, in a
state that now seems less cer-
tain of a victory for President
Barack Obama, Republican offi-
cials here reined in their criti-
cisms of Obama and his failure
to stimulate the economy.,
Instead, they urged Michi-
gan voters to look to the state's
turnaround under Republican
Gov. Rick Snyder as a model
for the change to expect under
a possible Romney presidential
administration.
Rounding out a list of speak-
ers that included Republican
National Committee chair
Reince Priebus, Snyder - who
has presided over what he
claims to be a "reinvention" of
the state through a method of
"relentless positive action" -
said Romney's election would
amount to a continuation of the
state's economic recovery.
"We're on the path to a
major comeback," Snyder told
the crowd of about 150 people.
"Now is not the time to stop.
Tomorrow decides the choice,
are we going, to act or are we
going backwards? And we're
going ahead."
Bill Schuette, the state's
Republican Attorney General,
said that the successes of Snyder
should continue to be reflected
at the national level through the
election of Romney.
"In Michigan, we've turned it
around - we have an outstand-
ing governor, and an outstand-
ing lieutenant governor. And
if you think about the quali-
ties that Rick Snyder brought
to Michigan, they're the same
qualities that Mitt Romney will
bring to America."
The rally, which lasted about
45 minutes, comes as polls in
the state show a narrowing gap
between Obama, who has long
held a lead statewide, and Rom-
ney, who was raised in Bloom-
field Hills, Mich., while his

father George Romney served
as governor from 1963 to 1969.
As the candidates swung
through the roster of critical
states in the election's dying
hours, surrogates for both can-
didates have canvassed the
state, and both campaigns have
elevated their rhetoric.
Republican Lt. Gov. Brian
Calley, who preceded Snyder as
the second-to-last speaker, said
Michigan voters would prove
analysts wrong who have pre-
dicted a safe win in the state for
Obama.
"I just can't wait for 8 o'clock
tomorrow to roll around, and
then 9 o'clock to come and 10
o'clock to come and all of a sud-
den they're not calling Michi-
gan yet," Calley said. "They're
all looking at Ohio, while we are
winning the presidency of the
United States."
At the rally, the Republican
speakers, again portrayed the
election as a choice between
two distinct visions for the.
country, following a trend ever
since both parties held their
nominating conventions earlier
this fall.
Before U.S. Senatorial can-
didate Pete Hoekstra criticized
Obama for his handling of the
Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the
American consulate in Beng-
hazi, Libya, George Romney, a
nephew of the Republican presi-
dential nominee, told the audi-
ence Mitt Romney would fix the
economic woes he said Obama's
policies have only worsened.
George Romney recalled
an instance at the 2002 Win-
ter Olympics in Salt Lake City,
Utah, which Mitt Romney ran,
when he directed traffic when
a backlog of cars threatened to
prevent people from attending
some of the events.
He said the affair illustrates
that Mitt Romney has a knack
for stepping up through adver-
sityand seizing the moment.
At the rally here in Jackson,
and a stop in Ann Arbor attend-
ed by two of Mitt Romney's sons,
Matt and Josh Romney, an hour
earlier, members of the Uni-
versity's chapter of the College

Republicans said they thought
this was Romney's moment, and
that the candidate's strength in
Michigan would boost him to a
national victory.
LSA senior Matt Jones, state
chair of Students for Romney,
said Priebus's appearance in
Michigan, as opposed to other
contested states like Pennsylva-
nia, shows that the state will be
closer than originally projected.
"We feel that Michigan's in
play, we really do. I know that
a lot of people are counting
out the state, but ... everyone is
acknowledging that Republi-
cans are far more energized to
vote than the Democrats are,"
Jones said in an interview after
the bus stop in Jackson. "We
think Michigan is absolutely in
play, and we think that if Michi-
gan goes red, then the whole
national election will probably
go our way."
Members of the College
Republicans at the Ann Arbor
stop were equally confident
about Romney's prospects.
LSA senior Brian Koziara,
a senior adviser to the group,
said after the event that the
group will continue to make
last-minute get out the vote
efforts, including making calls
during the duration of the eve-
ning at the Washtenaw County
office.
"The work that they've been
doing to elect Mitt Romney and
Paul Ryan as president and vice
president and elect Republi-
cans up and down the ticket is
just momentous and we're real-
ly looking forward to a victory
tomorrow night," Koziara said.
While Snyder congratulated
voters on their work to elect
Romney over the past 18 months
of the campaign, he urged vot-
ers to work up until the closing
of the polls to ensure Romney's
election.
"We need to go out of here
not just saying this is a rally, but
this was a rally that there's still
tomorrow," Snyder said.
