Vote 2010

On Tuesday November 2nd me and my fellow classmate Tyrone Kidd headed down to Rittenhouse Square, Suburban Station and Greenfield School where we handed out flyers encouraging people to vote and also conducted an interview. When we first got down to Rittenhouse we found that not a lot of people traveled through the park and the very few people that did come through there had either already come from voting or just didn't want to bothered at the time. When we decided to then walk down to Suburban Station the number of people that we encountered was great, but even here we found that some people were either rushing to work after voting or didn't want to be bothered. What I found interesting was that some people that we handed flyers to stopped to look at it before going about their day and also were interested to see to students just as compelled to get people to vote as they may have been to get them to vote. When we came from passing out all the flyers we headed to the Greenfield School on 22nd and Chestnut where we interviewed a woman who had worked at the polls right after voting herself. The questions we asked were 1) What motivated you to come out and vote? 2)Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? 3) What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result in this election? 4) Do you vote in every election? 5)Do you know why we vote on Tuesdays?. Both the audio from the interview and video from our expedition today can be found on the links below.
