The whole world is watching Ohio in the presidential election, and voting in this election is essential to keeping democracy alive, “Beverly Hills 90210” star Luke Perry told students in an Ohio University sociology class Monday before leading a procession of students down Court Street to cast their ballots for Sen. Barack Obama.

Perry’s first stop was Deborah Thorne’s Sociology 101 class where he talked about the importance of voting in a democracy and the interest worldwide in the U.S. election.

In the classroom, Perry, a Mansfield, Ohio, native and a registered independent voter, tried to sound nonpartisan, but shortly afterward, he met with the OU chapter of Students for Barack Obama.

He agreed with them that Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the “way to go” in the general election. After a short rally, Perry led a procession of more than 20 students down Court Street to the Athens County Board of Elections where he encouraged them to cast their ballots early. Students filled the voting booths, causing a line to form down the street.

“Ohio is ground zero for the change we need to make, and you have the opportunity to do it (vote) early, which is great,” Perry told students crowding around him during the 11 a.m. change of classes.

When New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, the presumed frontrunner for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, came to Ohio in mid-October to campaign for Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, Brown dragged her to the Fitch High School auditorium in the Mahoning Valley community of Austintown.

When Bill Clinton campaigned for Ohio Democrats last week, he was sent not to the Democratic stronghold of Cleveland but to Columbus in Franklin County, which gave 55 percent of the vote to the man Brown is challenging, Republican Sen. Mike DeWine, in the 2000 election.

When television stars Luke Perry and Adam Brody came to campaign for Brown, Ohio Democrats scheduled them in Bowling Green, Xenia, Granville and Toledo.
