Most Harvard students did not vote in Massachusetts yesterday.

A January Crimson survey found that 75 percent of undergraduates are registered to vote. Of those registered, one in seven are Massachusetts voters.

Some students chose not to vote, here or elsewhere, citing their lack of interest in the early electoral contests.

"This is just a primary, it's not a big deal to me," said Damian Wisniewski '01, a registered Democrat in New York. "The Democratic race is over...Bradley has been done since New Hampshire," he said.

According to exit polls, McCain's victory in Massachusetts was due in large part to his image as a reformer. He scored high among Democrats and independents alike. Large numbers of Democratic voters switched their affiliations so that they could vote for McCain.

But McCain garnered most of his support from Republicans.

"John McCain is the only candidate who truly embodies a spirit of reform," said Bradley J. Olson '03, a registered Mass. Republican who voted yesterday. "He has been able to draw great support from an American public who wants to restore honesty and integrity to the White House."
