In the 2008 U.S. elections, more than 15 million new voters went to the polls. One-hundred-thousand of them were registered at concerts by HeadCount, a group that promotes civic involvement. This year, HeadCount is back on the road with musicians, hoping to register tens of thousands of new voters, especially young adults. VOA's Susan Logue talked with organizers at a Wilco concert at Wolf Trap Park for the Performing Arts outside Washington.
