NEXTGEN VOTERS TURNED AWAY AT POLLS Erica Guthrie Staff Writer

On election day, students waited for hours in lines stretching out the doors of the William Pitt Union, Soldiers and Sailors and other campus polling locations — only for some to be turned away when they made it to the front.

For many students, living on campus means having to change their address for voting. During PittStart dates and move-in week, an organization called NextGen America tabled on campus, offering students moving in for the year the op-

portunity to register to vote before the midterm elections or change their address to reflect their campus residency. However, some students who registered through NextGen were not able to partake in the polls.

Allie Staman, a first-year nursing major, was one of the students who registered on campus.

She had already registered to vote at home in Delaware, but decided to submit forms through NextGen to vote in Pittsburgh.

“At PittStart this summer, there was a group inside of Towers lobby that had voter registration

papers and said that we could register to vote in Pittsburgh and that all we had to do was fill out the paper and they would take care of the rest,” Staman said. “This was supposed to be my first time voting.”

NextGen America, a progressive political organization, registered more than 38,000 voters throughout the Pennsylvania before the midterm elections. The organization was founded in 2013 as NextGen Climate by billionaire Tom Steyer.

The Pitt football team whipped Wake Forest Saturday, 34-13, to earn the Panthers’ first-ever ACC Coastal title. With the win, Pitt (7-4 overall, 6-1 ACC) secures a date with currently undefeated No. 2 Clemson in the ACC Championship game and finally moves into the Top 25 rankings at No. 24. Here’s what Pitt fans can take away from Saturday.

We want Clemson The biggest takeaway from Saturday’s game is that the Panthers are now Coastal champs, meaning they earn a spot in the conference’s championship game against Clemson.

Pitt still has one game left on its regular-season schedule at Miami (6-5 overall, 3-4 ACC) this Saturday. While the team likely isn’t overlooking this game, it’s safe to say that most fans are. After all, the Panthers have never contended for an ACC Championship since joining the conference in 2013, so this is all very new. Plus, the prospect of ruining an opposing team’s perfect season for the third straight year is enticing.

On paper, Clemson should be favored heavily to beat Pitt. The Tigers’ average scoring margin of 31.8 is just rude and ranks only behind a domiSee Takeaways on page 6

equal rights, health care and immigration.

Despite its progressive ideology, NextGen’s voter registration movement is nonpartisan, as required by law. Julia Ackerley, NextGen’s Pennsylvania organizing director, told the Bucks County Courier Times that the organization would spend $3.5 million to register young voters in the state for midterm elections. The day before election day on Pitt’s campus, NextGen brought an ice cream truck with free ice cream for students who said they were going to vote. And on election day, they had a table on the sidewalk in front of Wafflonia giving away free pizza to students who voted.

Through NextGen’s Youth Vote program, they tabled on several college campuses to register students. According to the Pittsburgh City Paper, only Penn State had more students than Pitt register to vote with the organization.

Victoria Vinall, NextGen’s Pennsylvania state media manager, said every form the organization receives is audited and physically handed in to the county registrar’s office.

“We take the voter registration process very seriously and have a full audit system to ensure accountability,” Vinall said in an email.

“The mission of our organization is to expand the electorate and give young people the tools to vote, and we work really hard to en-

sure every student gets registered.”

NextGen’s voter registration drives were on campuses all over Pennsylvania. However, Pitt students weren’t the only ones who had difficulties on election day — several Lehigh University students who registered with NextGen also discovered on Election Day that they were not actually registered to vote on campus, according to Lehigh’s collegiate paper The Brown and White.

Some Pitt students who discovered they weren’t registered tried to remedy the problem by submitting a provisional ballot. Faith Crawford, a first-year nursing student, also submitted a change of address form through NextGen during her PittStart date this summer. She didn’t know she wasn’t registered to vote at her school address until she went to Soldiers and Sailors to vote on election day and was told she wasn’t on the list.

Crawford said the judge of elections searched for her voting registration on the electronic polling book, where eligible voters for each polling site are listed. It was on the site that Crawford discovered that she was still registered at her home address, hundreds of miles away. She went to the Allegheny County Office of Elections, where they tried to get a court order to change her address, but was unable to as she was not previously registered inside the county.

“Later that day, I submitted a provisional ballot, but I wasn’t 100 percent sure it would be counted,” Crawford said.

November 19, 2018

Voters who registered to vote in Pennsylvania but aren’t on their polling location’s roster have the right to submit a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are similar to normal ballots, but they are not counted until the county elections office determines that you are eligible to vote.

For Staman, she only realized she wasn’t registered after her roommate received a voter registration card in the mail and she didn’t. The night before the election, she used the electronic polling book but was unable to find herself. A family member found her name in the polling book at their local polling site in Delaware, instead. Vinall said once NextGen turns over its paperwork, they have no way of finding out the status of registration for the voters.

“Unfortunately, once we turn the forms in to the registrar, there’s no way for us to follow up on how or whether they are processed correctly or on time. Therefore, it’s hard for us to know why some registrations don’t go through,” Vinall said in an email.

For Staman, discovering that she was unable to vote after she submitted the correct paperwork was a disheartening experience.

“I was incredibly disappointed and frustrated that I wasn’t able to vote,” Staman said. “I have been incredibly excited to vote since I turned 18 and not being able to partake was a huge let down.”

The Allegheny County Office of Elections could not be reached after multiple attempts for comment.

Opinions from the editorial board

Trump wrongly blames forest management for fires More than 1,000 people have gone missing and more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed in the past two weeks as the most devastating forest fire in California’s history sweeps through the northern part of the state. There are at least 76 fatalities, higher than in any other forest fire the state has experienced — and the number is only expected to grow as search teams comb through the wreckage.

A tragedy of this size demands both sympathy and a large amount of aid to those affected.

Unsurprisingly, President Donald Trump has once again proven himself incapable of appropriately responding to tragedy, resorting to victim-blaming and threats rather than promising to help with disaster relief.

His usual level of sympathy in the face of tragedy on display, Trump tweeted days after the Camp Fire started burning that the federal government would stop giving California funding because the state poorly manages its forests.

“There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly fires in California except that forest management is so poor,” he tweeted. “Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!”

Not only is this a callous remark to make amidst a fire that has destroyed thousands of homes and displaced many thousands of people, but the president is blaming the wrong people for the wrong problems.

“Mr. President, with all due respect, you are wrong,” responded the Pasadena Firefighters Association via Twitter. “The fires in So. Cal are urban interface fires and have NOTHING to do with forest management. Come to SoCal and learn the facts & help the victims.”

Forest management hasn’t played a role in either of the two most destructive California forest fires, which include the Camp Fire and the Tubbs Fire last year. The area being burnt by the Camp Fire, which covers more than 200 square miles around Paradise, California, was thinned

pittnews.com

just 10 years ago by another fire, so management tactics like forest thinning wouldn’t have helped prevent this one.

California Professional Firefighters President Brian Rice released a statement in response to the president’s reaction to the fire, calling the president’s message attacking California “ill-informed, ill-timed, and demeaning to those who are suffering as well as those who are on the front lines.”

The president isn’t the only celebrity whose response to the devastating fire has been callous.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hired a private firefighting company to protect their mansion in Hidden Hills from the Camp Fire. While homes around them were consumed by flames, the couple used their wealth and influence to ensure their property emerged unscathed.

It’s their right to use their money however they want. However, this is a good example of what a 2016 United Nations report on the nexus between climate change and inequality points out — most people can’t afford climate change, which several reports have cited as a cause for the recent uptick in larger, more catastrophic fires in California. “[D]isadvantaged groups suffer disproportionate loss of income and assets (physical, financial, human and social) when these hazards actually hit them,” the U.N. report said. “Consequently, inequality worsens, and the cycle perpetuates with greater force.”

After a trip to California Saturday, Trump was asked if his opinion had changed regarding climate change. He responded saying there are a variety of causes for forest fires that don’t include climate change.

Thousands of people have lost their homes and belongings, and many await news that missing family members were casualties in the fire.

California needs the support of the president and those who have the means to provide muchneeded aid — not to mention more serious efforts to address climate change.

Donate blood all year round Mackenzie Oster For The Pitt News

Out of sight, out of mind — it’s a treacherous mindset that most people subconsciously fall into every day. When mass tragedies strike, the prevalence of violence in our world resurfaces and the first impulse is to find a way to help. This is often why the influx of blood donations heighten around times that such unfortunate incidents occur.

While the effort to help is well-intended, it would be much more beneficial if people stepped up to donate year-round to aid hospitals — especially because the need for blood is constant, not only around times of mass tragedy.

“Every single day blood is needed,” New York Blood Center Vice President

Rob Purvis informed the Daily News. “The reason for that is because blood has an expiration date. It’s kind of like milk, so you have to manage the supplies in and out.”

Purvis also mentioned that blood has to have already been donated to be of service the day of a disaster. The process to donating blood takes time. After the donation of the blood is done, it has to be processed and tested before being stored for later use. This process often takes several days, which is why blood that is donated right after violent incidents can’t immediately be put to use.

After the shooting on Oct. 27 at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill, hundreds of people lined up to donate blood and hopefully help the victims of the See Oster on page 4

incident. However, many people fail to realize that donating blood only after mass tragedies may not be the best way to help.

Blood expires after 42 days, which is why it is especially critical that the influx of blood donations stay steady yearround, because the blood cannot be stored away for very long and may even end up going to waste.

“Blood is a precious commodity, and we want to use every drop of it,” Dr. James Lozada, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center told CNN. “That’s why we encourage people to donate regularly rather than in the immediate aftermaths of these events.”

Lozada conducted a study that analyzed the rate of blood donations after the Las Vegas shooting that left more than 800 people wounded and 58 dead in October 2017. He collected the data from three Las Vegas health care systems from 220 patients who were wounded, 68 of whom were in critical condition.

Just three days after the Las Vegas

New York Blood Center Vice President shooting, the American Red Cross saw an increase in blood donations by 53 percent nationwide.

“United Blood Services, the Las Vegas blood bank now called Vitalant, reported receiving 791 donations immediately after the shooting,” CNN reported. “The study authors that 137 of these donations — or 17% — were ‘wasted,’ meaning the donated blood went unused and was subsequently discarded, according to the study.”

Dr. Leslie Greebon, the director of the blood lab at University hospital, said the most important thing to know about blood supply is that it’s like a pipeline, not a bank, Kens5 reported.

“We need that blood beforehand,” she

said. “If you donate today, it may not be ready for three to four days from now.”

In order to prevent blood from going to waste, schedule an appointment to donate in the future. We can’t predict when these tragedies will occur and the blood that is given ahead of time is the most useful for the treatment of the victims affected. Donations are especially low during the summer months and holiday seasons when regular blood donors are not as reliable.

Standard blood donations can be done every 56 days, so new donors are always needed. Eligibility to donate blood includes people of good health, at least the age of 17 — 16 with parental consent —

and a weight above 110 pounds.

However, there are also many restrictions that can prevent the eligibility to give blood. Factors such as tattoos that have been done less than a year ago, inadequate blood pressure and HIV/AIDS are all things that can prevent a blooddonor from being able to donate. Type O negative blood is the “universal” blood type and is in the highest demand during emergencies, but all blood types can make a difference.

An alternative to donating blood is contributing to organizations that support the community affected. Money given to a certified GoFundMe will go directly to the survivors and families of the Tree of Life victims and help to repair the damage done to the synagogue.

With the rate of mass tragedies on the climb, it’s vital that citizens know the proper response to help the communities affected. Blood donations are always encouraged and appreciated, but used most efficiently if done yearround. The need for blood donations is constant, so schedule an appointment now, because you never know what life you may impact.

Weekend sports: Volleyball wins second ACC championship pittnews.com

Rousey takes the belt in WWE’s survivor series Alexa Marzina Staff Writer

The boos directed toward Nia Jax at WWE’s “Survivor Series” pay-per-view Sunday were the most thunderous and tenacious I’ve ever heard and I’ve been watching professional wrestling since 2008.

On the Nov. 12 episode of Monday Night RAW, SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch led the SmackDown women’s locker room through an invasion and beatdown of the RAW women’s division. As the brands battled for supremacy, Jax straight-up punched Lynch in the nose with a stiff right hand, fracturing her face and concussing her.

Lynch’s new “The Man” persona didn’t show that the blow had any effect though, as she still stood triumphantly with her title at the end of the show. Bad news would come the next night, when WWE announced that due to the severity of the concussion, Lynch could not compete at Survivor Series.

Plagued with the decision of choosing who would replace her in her champion vs. champion battle at the PPV with RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, Lynch really was The (bigger) Man — selecting her former best friend and rival Charlotte Flair.

Lynch directed Flair to make Rousey bleed and to make her tap out.

While it’s unfortunate Lynch got pulled, WWE has taken concussion protocol very seriously lately, based on the reality that though the matches are scripted, what professional wrestlers do still carries a high level of potential damage and many superstars do sustain injuries while working. While mild and major injuries are just part of the biz, the same performer repeatedly doling them out should absolutely not be.

And Jax has injured no less than four other superstars since her debut on

pittnews.com

Becky Lynch (right) fights Ruby Riot at WWE Wrestlemania 34 in New Orleans on April 8. Miguel Discart | flickr RAW in 2016. Among the injuries on her list are letting Charlotte fall right on her face after a moonsault from the top rope to the floor and injuring both Bayley’s and Alexa Bliss’ shoulders. She also concussed Zelina Vega during the battle royal at “Evolution,” which Jax went on to win.

Looking at Jax’s accomplishments in her short career, you’d think that her character work and performance in the ring could make up for her constant botching — she was voted Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s rookie of the year in 2016 and has held the RAW women’s championship. But her mic work is always uninspired with bland delivery and her moveset is basically limited to incapacitating her opponents with her size.

With the women’s evolution unfolding in WWE, the addition of plus-size women should certainly be implemented into the company, but not so that their sheer size is their selling point. Having the 6-foot 300-pound Jax bulldoze her much smaller opponents

doesn’t mean she’s a good wrestler, it just means she’s big.

Those tactics don’t fly in the men’s division — yes, there are “monster” type male superstars, but they have powerful movesets that involve actually overpowering an opponent with strength, or in the rare case, quickness.

But Jax is just clunky in the ring and doesn’t make any of her moves look good at all. Now with her addition of a reputation as an unsafe worker, it would be best for every woman on WWE’s roster to send her back to the training center or let her go altogether.

Though the dream match between Lynch and Rousey was postponed, fans were still rewarded with Flair vs.

Rousey, a match many predicted to be a featured match at Wrestlemania 35 in 2019. Charlotte has been one of WWE’s prized women for years now — with seven women’s championship reigns to date — so the clash with WWE’s newest golden girl was bound to be a showstopper.

And man, these ladies delivered.

November 19, 2018

The bout started scrappy and didn’t really seem to favor one competitor over the other, as both women got some offense in and the pair traded submission holds. Then the match became more methodical and both women had several counters ready for the other’s offensive moves. Nothing particularly special happened, but having two gifted athletes perform their craft with such a passion glued me to my screen.

Eventually, Rousey was able to lift Flair into a fireman’s carry and slam her onto the mat, looking to connect into her famous armbar submission. But Flair crawled under the ropes, making the referee break the hold, causing some frustration within Rousey.

I turned my head for one second and heard a violent crack. Oh my God. Flair just hit Rousey with a kendo stick. That means Rousey wins by disqualification.

But Flair didn’t stop there. She continued to beat Rousey down with the kendo stick, the steel ring stairs and a steel chair in what can only be described as an absolute assault. Even the announcers seemed shocked and commented that Flair should be arrested.

Rousey slowly walked herself up the ramp by herself, title in hand, with a plethora of welts and cuts all over her body. She was absolutely battered and “The Baddest Woman on the Planet” let more than a few tears leak out. Flair lived up to Lynch’s expectations of making the champ bleed.

All Lynch has to say about the matter is, “Everyone writing love letters to each other on social media about #SurvivorSeries tonight. Well here’s my statement: I cannot wait to get out of doctor jail and rip all your faces off.

Signed, The Man.” WWE’s next show, “TLC,” is Sunday, Dec. 16, at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, at 7 p.m. on the WWE Network.

Takeaways, pg. 1 nant Alabama team for second in the nation.

But unlike Alabama, this Clemson team has shown that they’re at least capable of being beaten. Sure, they demoralized Wake Forest 63-3 and Louisville 77-16. But they also eked out a twopoint win over unranked Texas A&M back in Week 2 and pulled out another close 27-23 win over No. 19 Syracuse — a team that Pitt beat.

Plus, the Panthers have been here before. They shocked the nation by defeating the undefeated Clemson Tigers — who went on to win the National Championship — in 2016, then knocked off undefeated Miami last season. It only makes sense that they continue the trend this year, so if Pitt can keep things close through three quarters when the two teams face off in Charlotte Dec. 1, the Tigers should be nervous.

Kenny Pickett can throw the ball after all Before Saturday’s game, Pitt had one of the nation’s least productive passing attacks, ranking 124th out of 130 Division I teams in yards per game with 136.1. Only a select handful of teams threw for fewer yards than the Panthers and most of them were run-heavy teams such as Army and Navy that essentially use the forward pass as a trick play.

Much of that had to do with Pitt’s backfield

pittnews.com

strength, with senior running backs Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall routinely rushing for over 100 yards and providing the lion’s share of the offensive workload. In victories over Duke and Virginia Tech this season, the Panthers collectively ran for 484 yards and 492 yards, respectively, and Pitt scored over 50 points. There’s no need to pass the ball when you can run for nearly 500 yards and still win.

But much of that lack of productivity rested on the shoulders of Pickett himself. He came into the season with sky-high expectations after leading the Panthers to an upset over Miami in his first start in last year’s season finale and had

largely failed to meet those expectations thus far.

Pickett often looked uncomfortable in the pocket, ducking his head and running the ball if his first option was covered. He hadn’t even thrown for over 200 yards in a game yet this season and Pitt’s coaching staff seemed to lose confidence in his ability to air the ball out.

Then against Wake Forest, a strange thing happened. The Demon Deacons’ 107th-ranked run defense suddenly looked like a brick wall, stuffing Hall and Ollison and allowing only 58 rushing yards in the first half. With Wake Forest committed to stopping the run and leading 10-6 at halftime, it was up to Pickett to win the game

November 19, 2018

with his arm.

For the first time all season, Pickett rose to the occasion, turning in a career-best performance to lead Pitt to victory in a very meaningful game. In the second half alone, he threw for 169 yards — more than he’d thrown for in seven complete games this season — and a career-high three touchdowns. After throwing a touchdown pass on three consecutive drives, Pickett and the Panthers could relax in the fourth quarter as they coasted to an ACC Coastal title.
