Ground: One evidence that provided support for the argument is "While the Twitter hashtag #UTSADebate trended locally durig the event, actual on-campus event remained poorly attended." 

Claim: Student lack of interest in San Antonio politics.

Warrant: A UTSA Student can have a lack of interest in San Antonio politics.

Qualifier: In the article, the claim is qualified by “Establishing a presence in local education and appealing to the young adult voters no doubt motivates the direction of mayoral campaigns.”

Backing: The audience does not need to be convinced that it shares the authors values, because I think after reading the article, the reader can agree with the author that students and people in general should get more involved politically to see issues they want addressed.

Rebuttal: One counter argument in the article is that "the lack of participation in mayoral elections isn't isolated to UTSA students." The author shows that it is more than just college students who are not active in the political scene in San Antonio. The author refuted by giving the statistics of voters in San Antonio.
