Intern’s goal: 1,000 Hispanic voters in Wichita, Kansas

“Armed with an American flag pen and an entourage of volunteers, Sandra Chacon is going door to door in north Wichita trying to get residents in a traditionally Hispanic area registered to vote.

The 22-year-old, who graduated from Wichita State University in May, has become an expert in voter registration.

She can register anyone in less than a minute — she’s actually timed herself — and has even persuaded a man to register while she was pumping gas next to him at a QuikTrip.”
