HAVING THEIR SAY: Power of the Polls.(living)
BYLINE: JOHN PRZYBYS, REVIEW-JOURNAL
What best illustrates the mind-set of Southern Nevada's soon-to-be-minted young voter?
Is it senior Ashley Derr's Republican convictions, or Cimarron-Memorial High School classmate Pat Ahern's independent leanings?
Is it Cimarron-Memorial senior Rena Brown's concern about a proposal to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain? Senior Gustavo Batres' opposition to a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriages? Senior Kristina Lewis' worries about terrorism?
The answer: All of the above.
Attempting to paint a picture of Southern Nevada 18-year-olds who'll be voting in their first election this fall is a bit like looking for portraits in a constantly moving kaleidoscope.
But while prospective young voters here occupy just about every point of the political/ideological spectrum, they do have a few things in common.
First, they're excited about casting their first ballots. And, second, they are, by and large, a politically astute group.
