Election night - Partying down

The best music playing at the Radisson was in the small room occupied by Young Democrats of Utah, who were celebrating early with club music. (Their communications director, Crystal Young-Otterstrom, above, also had the coolest T-shirt.)

Matt Lyon, YDU's president, and his crew believe they have a lot to celebrate. YDU campaigned hard to find young first-time voters and get them interested in politics.

"Young people don't make the regular voting lists," Lyon said. YDU volunteers identified 4,000 young Democratic voters in Utah, and made 21,000 calls to find them and get them to the polls.
