Many campaigners made SF State their last stand today, hoping to convert student voters before they reach the polls.

Student volunteers campaigned for Proposition 1A in the Quad and against Propositions 4 and 8 outside City Eats Dining Center, next to the campus polling precinct.

Proposition 1A would help create a high-speed railway between San Francisco and San Diego. Proposition 4 would require minors to notify their parents before an abortion and Proposition 8 seeks to ban gay marriage.

“Vote down Propositions 4 and 8!” shouted Allison Mingus, president of student group Feminism in Action. She said her campaign continues on election day because those two propositions are the most important.

“Propositions 4 and 8 would threaten people’s equality,” Mingus said. “Students have to remember that, even though Obama is amazing, we also have other things to worry about.”

Shahriar Ghoudsifar, a student volunteering for the Human Rights Campaign against Proposition 8, agreed.

“It’s a sad thing to see our nation so far behind in the sense that we can’t follow our ideal of separation of church and state,” he said.

Alexandra Lozanoff, volunteering for the California Public Interest Research Group, handed out informational flyers for Proposition 1A and urged voters to help pass the initiative.

“The railway is the cleanest, fastest and cheapest travel option for California,” Lozanoff said. “It’s either that or more highways and bigger airports.”

Lozanoff said the last-minute campaigning helps remind voters of the important issues while they make their way to the polls.
