Polling

I selected a young woman and a older man for my interviews. 

Curtis Lincoln (Older Man) decided to talk as I wrote down everything. 

Alisha (Me): What motivated you to come out and vote?

Mr. Lincoln: Because I want to see change done. I'm gonna' feel guilty if I wake up and Mitt is President. I ain't letting that happen. *chuckles*

Alisha (Me): What would you like to see changed in our political system?

Mr. Lincoln: Equality. Period.

Alisha (Me): Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?)

Mr. Lincoln: Yes, every year, since the age of 21 years old. I'm well over 40 years old now. The exact number is a secret! 

Alisha (Me): Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?

Mr. Lincoln: No.

Alisha (Me): It has a lot to do about Horses, farming and God. It was all established in the 1800's. But, let's hurry and move on. It's cold. 

Mr. Lincoln: Yes, thank you. 

Alisha (Me): Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Radio, TV, Print, internet, other.

Mr. Lincoln: TV and the radio. To work is the radio, from work is the radio and then when I get home, there is the TV. OBAMA, ROMNEY, & OBAMA. *chuckles*

Alisha (Me): Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth, or are you still deliberating?

Mr. Lincoln: I always know who I'm voting for. I took the time out already to do all of my hard thinking. But, this election, I think it was a very clear choice. 

Alisha (Me): What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?

Mr. Lincoln: I don't want to see any more violence. At least a decrease. I'm scared for my son, 14, to even go to school in the morning. Septa is crazy. So, I try to drive him when ever I can. But, gas prices...

Alisha (Me): What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?

Mr. Lincoln: Well how the government is today, probably none. But, I go out to vote and just pretend that my vote means the world.
