Clinton, however delivered a speech at her Pennsylvania celebration event with encouragement for her campaign.
"I'm in this race to fight for you, to fight for everyone who has ever been counted out, for everyone fighting to pay the grocery bills or the medical bills, the credit card and mortgage payments, and the outrageous price of gas at the pump today," Clinton said.
She also expressed that she needed her supporters help to continue her campaign.
"We can only keep winning if we can keep competing with an opponent who outspends us so massively," Clinton said.
Miller and Butler agreed that voter education is an important part of the process and that it was available around campus. However, students were still turned away from the polls.
Miller said a common mistake made by students was registering at home and then expecting to vote on campus.
In order to improve voter education, Miller said he and other members of the Drexel Democrats are hoping to go to University 101 classes and talk with students directly.
Along with voting, the issues debated in this election are going to affect students as well.
The most important issue is the economy, according to Butler.
"If the economy goes downhill, what's going to happen with students go to get a job when they graduated?" Butler said. "Most people aren't politically turned on; it's how to get them interested."
The Democratic Convention will be held Aug. 25 in Denver, Colo., where the presidential nominee will be officially named.
