The state?s spring primary is nearly three months away, with more high-profile votes — including a possible recall attempt of Gov. Scott Walker and the 2012 presidential election — even further down the road. Yet major efforts already are underway to make sure college students who want to vote will be able to do so under the state?s new voter ID law. State elections chief Kevin Kennedy says the law is the biggest administrative change for voting since 18-year-olds were granted the right to vote in 1971. Some fear that it could keep students away from the polls.
