Election Day! 11/2/10
Today I went to visit my local voting poll, Paschalville Library and spent some time with a few friendly people. A few polling officials recognized me from last year when I came to interview people. This year I interviewed a nice lady, Mary Jones.
Q: What would you like to see changed in our political system?
A: The school system, to have smaller classes, better teachers, and more after school programs. And jobs, of course.
Q: Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?)
A: Every six months. Every Election.
Q: Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
A: No (looks around and asked everyone else. Everyone else said the same thing.)
Q: Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Radio, TV, print, internet, other.
A: The radio. (nods head)
Me: Oh haha is that because you listen to the radio more anything else.
MJ: Mhmm.
Q: What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?
A: One of the presidential campaign for Obama.
Q: What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
A: More jobs.

The awesome polling officials and librarians also let me chalk the sidewalk in front of the ramp that lead to the polls. I apologize it was extremely sunny this morning so I couldn't capture it as clearly I wanted to.
