CSUF political organizations teamed up with the Orange County Registrar and Secretary of State Alex Padilla in an effort to increase voter registration on college campuses.

Because 44 million millennials are eligible to vote in this election, their voice would have a strong and powerful impact, he said. “Millennials are the most diverse demographic in this country today,” Kelly said. “Your voice is really going to shape communities and how communities are represented.” Former state Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva also said the notion of student representation during the election by handing out water bottles and encouraging students to vote by talking to them face-to-face. Being a mother of four millennials herself, Quirk-Silva understood relatable issues such as affordable housing, student debt and life after college. “I think getting students engaged in the voting process is the fundamental building block of our democracy,” Quirk-Silva said. Registering to vote would be easy for students, particularly the residents at CSUF. Nathan Schuch, a residential adviser, said that being able to vote on campus would be

convenient for students since most of them already spend a good amount of time at the school. This election is important because of the intensity both parties brought, he said. “Both of the sides are so heated right now. It’s like a hot mess,” Schuch said. Secretary of State Alex Padilla was the special guest speaker for the event. Padilla said he was honored to be invited by the students of CSUF, noting how student-driven the campus was. Padilla said that he wanted more young people to participate in the voting process because while the 18-24 age group was the largest demographic, it still had low registeration and voting rates. “If we want our democracy to be healthier and stronger, we need more young people to participate,” Padilla said. His appearance at CSUF was just another stop on his statewide tour of high schools and colleges over the next several weeks in order to spread awareness of student participation in the election.

During his speech, Padilla advocated the importance for not only voting for the next president of the United States, but voting for other elected officials and propositions that have the ability to shape the future. The voters get to make decisions on investments in education, college affordability and the infrastructure and the economy, he said. “It’s not just because of who we’re voting for or what we’re voting on,” Padilla said. “It’s because of you.” In California alone, there are seven million people eligible to vote but won’t be able to because many of them have not even registered to vote yet. With the election approaching this Nov. 8, encouraging eligible voters to register is entirely crucial. “People died for us to have the right to vote,” said CSUF President Mildred Garcia, who also made an appearance at the event. “Make sure that we are voting to not give up our democracy to others. If you don’t like what’s going on, vote.”

The San Andreas Fault experienced more than 140 earthquakes Monday and Tuesday, including two 4.3 magnitude temblors south of Bombay Beach, according to CNBC. No accounts of injury or damage were reported to the Imperial County Sheriff’s Department. “They are not strongly damaging earthquakes but obviously the fact there are so many of them and they are occurring so close in time is something that deserves our attention,” Graves said in his quote to CNBC. The San Andreas Fault runs 10 miles from the Salton Sea in Imperial County to Cape Mendocino in Humboldt County. - SARAH WOLSTONCROFT

Loma fire burns over 15,000 acres Hundreds of residents near the Santa Cruz Mountains were evacuated Tuesday as the Loma fire continued to rage, according to ABC News. The fire started Monday afternoon and has already burned through more than 1,500 acres with only 5 percent containment. There were more than 500 firefighters working around the clock. California’s recent triple-digit heat and ongoing drought contributed to flames reaching 100 feet. There are 300 structures threatened by the fire. It’s been reported that one firefighter has been injured and at least one home has been destroyed in the blaze. - ZACK JOHNSTON
