Election Day :)
Election Day
For Election Day, my mother and I went to our local polling place in our neighborhood, handed out cards with voting information and rights on them and interviewed various voters asking them a serious of engrossing questions. One of the interviews recorded is listed below.
Interview Questions:
Q: What motivated you to come out and vote?
A: "I am a historian. I think about how many black people were killed trying to get blacks the right to vote."
Q: What would you like to see changed in our political system?
A: "Nothing really, I just would like it to be more inclusive. But, you know; politics is what it is."
Q: Do you vote in every election?
A: "Yes."
Q: Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
A: "No."
Q: Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? (Radio, TV, print, internet, other)?
A: "TV. And it's annoying."
Q: What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?
A: "I'm not sure. They're all just annoying to me."
Q: What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
A: "Not too much change."
Q: What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?
A: "It's hard to say. I can't imagine one vote being that important. However, being apart of the political process is always important."
Q: Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today?
A: "Yes, in school. It definitely impacted my willingness to vote today."
