On November 6, 2018, Americans headed to the midterm polls to vote for a selection of senators, representatives, governors, and various lower-level political figures. College voters flooded the polls in numbers that had not been seen in 25 years, rising from a 21 percent to 31 percent youth turnout, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement. Covenant College clung to the upper level of this voter turnout.
