A large number of Liberty University students in Virginia wait in line to cast their votes in the presidential election: video

In the presidential election on Tuesday, a significant number of college students from a conservative-leaning Christian college in Virginia have turned out to vote, as per a video posted on social media site X. According to their mission statement, Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia aims to develop Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills necessary to make a positive impact on the world. Liberty Law student Jesse Hughes shared a video on X earlier on Tuesday, which has received over 60k views so far. In the video, Hughes wrote, "Huge line of students to vote at Liberty University. Students I talked to say this is the SHORTEST it’s been in a few hours."

The video shows several crowded halls on the Liberty University campus of students waiting to do their patriotic duty for the presidential election. According to Hughes, the turnout at Liberty has big implications. In 2020, only just over 2,000 students voted on campus. Today, we saw at least 4,000-7,000, if not more come out. The hype around this election from GenZ conservatives is strong and people are excited to vote for President Trump. If Virginia remains close, Liberty students play a role in that.

Virginia, once a battleground state, has remained reliably blue since President Obama's election in 2008. Down-ballot races in the Old Dominion State include tight House races in the 2nd and 7th Congressional districts as well as a Senate seat up for grabs between incumbent Tim Kaine and GOP challenger Hung Cao. Liberty University did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.
