Reflection on extra credit:

I was walking around in my neighborhood giving out the fliers but had to stop and explain/translate because most people around my neighborhood is spanish native speaking people. I gave out the materials and went to the polling place around two o'clock. Most people understood their rights but those that did not gained some information with the flyer. The chalk on the sidewalk was fun to make and got out the message because people that where walking by noticed what I was doing. I ran out of space but the neighbors got in the spirit because they allowed me to keep drawing on their sidewalk.
