No one would let me video or audio them. Also, I kind of got "kicked-out" of the area.

I have two peoples interviews written down:

Interview  #1:

  1. It is my responsibility.
  2. I think we have a fascinating and complex political system I think works if people come out and vote
  3. Every election.
  4. No.
  5. TV
  6. The one with Tom Smith and his grandmother. I immediately found it absolutely appalling. 
  7. By the time I was into the booth? Naw, I know.
  8. The question that asks for more funds available. I'd like to see that accomplished. And unfortunately the big change I'd like to see won't happen because Michelle Brownlee is running unopposed. 
  9. Hopefully by exercising my vote I demonstrate to others that I vote and that it impacts other to people to follow. It doesn't just happen with one vote.
  10. I learned about it in school. No, it did not impact my willingness to vote today. I had lived through the Vietnam war and that is probably the single most important factor that makes me feel that I have the privilege to exercise to vote.

    Interview #2:

    1. I believe it's important responsibilities I need to fulfill as a part of American society. 

    2. Ideally, the 2 party system. I feel as if it is very restricting. 

    4. Yes, I learned it in senior year history 

    7. Yes, I'm sure who I am going to vote for

    9. I very much believe every vote counts. It's the best way my "voice" will heard, even if the impact is small it still has influence in society.

The first man that I interviewed was a man that lived in my neighborhood. The reason I chose to interview him was because he usually discusses politics. I asked if I could record him visually, but he said that I couldn't. After the first few questions, I saw how short and blunt his answered were,he didn't want the interview to be too ling. 
  1. What motivate you to come out and vote? I don’t a republican to sign my paycheck.
  2. What would you like to see changed in our political system?I would like to see the House of Representatives become Democratic. 
  3. Do you vote in every Presidential election? How regularly do you vote?I vote in every single presidential election since I was able to. 
  4. Do you know why we vote on Tuesdays.No.

  6. Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?Always sure
  7. What changes do you have hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?I don’t think anything will change. 
  8. What impact do you feel that your vote will have on this election?“I’m just one of the many voices that will never be heard.”
  9. Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today?No

    The second person I chose to interview was a lady that I never met before. I told her that this was an important assignment and that it was an option to be recorded. She also asked to only be recorded on paper. 
  • What motivate you to come out and vote? I feel that it is my civic duty to vote to t e whose going to become the President of the United States.

  • No expectations. 
  • My vote counts, and I think that it will  make ensure that America will stay that same.
