WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Rock the Vote registered its 2-millionth young voter in what the organization said Monday was its largest voter registration campaign.
Pushing Rock the Vote to the 2-million mark was Morgan Reed-Parker, 17, of North Carolina, who registered Sunday, the non-profit, non-partisan organization said in a news release.
Rock the Vote's 2008 registration campaign has engaged young people from all 50 states and the District of Columbia through online, mobile services and grassroots outreach, the organization said.
Reed-Parker said she will celebrate her 18th birthday before the Nov. 4 election.
"This election is extremely important for my generation," she said. "As I leave home and become responsible for my own finances, I want to know that our economy is stable."
