Spirits were high Tuesday morning as Penn President Liz Magill stopped by her new polling place at Houston Hall to cast her first General Election vote in Pennsylvania. A team of students from Penn Leads the Vote (PLTV) greeted Magill and others at Penn Commons, helping voters determine their registration status while handing out La Colombe draft lattes, Lil Pop Shop goodies, and customizable “I voted” buttons.
