College voter?

Answer:

ELECTOR

Hint:

This person casts a ballot in presidential elections as part of a special group representing their state. Think beyond the typical student voter.

Explanation:

"College voter?" plays on the double meaning of "college." Here, it doesn’t refer to a university but to the Electoral College, the group that formally elects the U.S. president. The answer, "ELECTOR," is a member of that body—someone who casts a vote in the election process. The clue cleverly misdirects by making you think of a student before revealing the political twist.
