Students who began college in the fall of 2016 have pursued higher education in bizarre times, bookended by a brutal election in which a reality-TV star upended American politics and a global pandemic that derailed their in-person graduation plans. A subset of those students supported President Trump in 2016 as college freshmen.

After four years of college, have their views changed? Four students who voted for Trump in 2016 discuss how college has shaped their political thinking, and whether they are planning to vote for him again in 2020.

As Election Day approaches, university administrators, voting groups, and students are dealing with a new challenge: casting a ballot in an election held during a pandemic. 

Some schools are taking action—from hiring a taxi company to take quarantined students who want to vote from their residence halls to a drive-by early polling station to challenging long-standing state laws that discourage college students from voting.
