In N.C. this year, almost 53,000 people under 25 registered to vote

Students for Barack Obama set up a sound system in front of the clock tower at Winston-Salem State University one recent afternoon and cranked up the music.

Speakers encouraged political activism while others worked the crowd to sign up new voters. In two hours, 110 students had registered to vote.

College interns for Hillary Clinton met one night last week at her headquarters in an old house at the edge of downtown.

They worked the phones, exchanged ideas about how to get out campaign information and learned how to reply to questions posed by voters on a Web site set up by the campaign.

With the May 6 primary just three weeks away, the presidential campaigns are focusing on young voters and campus organizing more than ever.
