In the aftermath of the Wisconsin election, former Republican Gov. Scott Walker acknowledged the important role students played in determining the outcome but viewed the problem facing the party in a cultural context. “Young voters are the issue,” he wrote on Twitter. “It comes from years of radical indoctrination — on campus, in school, with social media, & throughout culture. We have to counter it or conservatives will never win battleground states again.”

Heh.

And the Republicans response will be to make it more difficult for college students to vote in their college towns instead of being less radical

yeah, there's literally a quote from a Republican in the article complaining that it's too easy for college students to vote
