Thanks for this article, David. As a young Georgetown alum now living in Virginia, I get so frustrated at my friends who remained in DC but continue to vote absentee in their home states despite being full-fledged, post-college DC citizens. It's a huge problem with 20-somethings, and from my experience, far too few of my DC friends even know anything about the form of, or state of, local politics here. I wish there was an effective way of communicating to these people how important it is to vote in, and become engaged in, the community you actually live and work in. I may vote in VA now (and have since come to know Arlington local politics quite well), but I love following DC politics and wish I could throw in my vote for Mayor too.
