Let’s pretend for a second that the other things surrounding Donald Trump don’t matter: not the xenophobia, his refusal to release tax returns nor the lack of factual knowledge and preparation. None of it.
It’s no secret: liberal arts colleges are, well, liberal. Those leaning to the political left have controlled academia for years.

Some days I feel very lucky to be a Spider, given the difficult road I continue to navigate as a first-generation college student.
Whether you prefer Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump or neither, your vote is important. Here are five things every Richmond student should consider before heading to the voting booth:

Richmond Spiders,
Let’s keep this brief – you’ve got midterms this week, and, let’s be honest, you’ve read enough. My name is Matt Logan, and I would be honored to serve as the Richmond College Student Government Association (RCSGA) president. Elections are online this Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at https://wwws.richmond.edu/vote. If I’ve already convinced you that I’m your guy, you can go ahead and get back to studying, and I wish you the best of luck in surviving this week! If not – please keep reading, because there is plenty more you should know about me.
To my fellow Spiders,
Virginia will feature elections for 11 Congressional districts and one Senate seat on Tuesday. The polls will open at 6 a.m. and close promptly at 7 p.m. If you plan on voting and do not know your polling station, you can visit this site. Remember, under Virginia’s new voter ID laws, voters are required to present a photo ID prior to casting a ballot. Listed below are short bios of the candidates on the ballot for Richmond area voters, as well as an explanation of the proposed constitutional amendment to Article 6-A of Article X.
Texas will continue enforcing stringent voter identification requirements in the coming midterm elections despite a recent ruling that declared the law unconstitutional.
Citizens of Virginia elected Democrat Terry McAuliffe as governor in Tuesday's election, choosing him over Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Libertarian Robert Sarvis. McAuliffe won with 47.4 percent of the votes. Cuccinelli gathered 45.8 percent of the votes.
Governor of Virginia will be Terry McAuliffe's first elective office. The former chairman of the Democratic National Committee gained stature through his work leading two Clinton presidential campaigns: Bill's in 1996 and Hillary's in 2008. He previously ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2009, but lost to state Sen. Creigh Deeds.
Although Democrat Terry McAuliffe won the Virginia gubernatorial election, Democrat Ralph Northam won the lieutenant governor race and Republican Mark Obenshain will be the next attorney general, disillusionment was the big winner on Tuesday. Sorry: This isn't Nevada.
Even though the gubernatorial election in Virginia was significant for the state and for the country, it held special value for a few University of Richmond students who voted for the first time.
