the other one is called mid-atlantic christian university. used to be called roanoke bible. it's a much smaller school. it's private, religious, mostly a white school. like the historically black school across town, mid-atlantic christian is a civic-minded place. every year they hold a voter registration drive so students can register to vote from school and the school shuttles them downtown to polling places. it's a priority for the school. they take it seriously. >> i think it's important for us to be involved with our local community as well as national issues when we have presidential elections. so we're responsible as citizens to be a part of what's going on in the world around us. >> in his seven years at mid-atlantic, vice president ken green says he's never known a student having a problem to register to vote or voting for the school. it's not a problem in atlantic christian. across town at elizabeth city state, students who try to vote from that school, they've been running into problems and kind of big ones.
