Pro-Dem Student-Vote Organization Canvassed in Dorms Against Policy, Schools Say

November 9, 2018

Representatives of a group that tries to get college students to vote in order to help Democrats went into dormitories at two New Hampshire state school before this week’s election, officials there said.

The colleges do not allow canvassing in dormitories.

The incidents have administrators at Keene State College and Plymouth State College rethinking their relationship with NextGen America, which is funded by billionaire Tom Steyer, a liberal Democrat, according to The Union Leader.

Steyer is an enthusiast for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. He is one of the 15 liberal targets who in October were mailed pipe bombs that did not explode. Federal prosecutors say they were sent by a homeless Florida man with a long criminal record who supports Trump.
