Voting/Election Day Interview

Interview with Thomas Craig (56 years old)

Question 1. What motivated you to come out and vote? 

Response: If I didn't vote, I wouldn't have the right to complain about something that I thought wasn't right. Voice would not be heard, and no reason to say anything about anything in politics. 

Question 3: Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?) 

Response: Started voting ever since I turned 18. Now 56, so I've been voting for 38 years. 

Question 4: Do you know why we vote on Tuesday? 

Response: No, not a clue why. 

Question 6: What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered? 
Response: Frank Rizzo, Ronald Reagan. Why? Not much the ad but more so what their stances and records were. 

Question 8. What chances do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election? 

Response: Not much expectations. There aren't enough good choices, I'm just here to vote on the better ones among the candidates. 

Question 9: What impact do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election? What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election? Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today? 
 
Response: I'm just one person, but the impact is unknown. It has to count in some degrees one way or another. In school they didn't explain voting so well, I don't know if they still do today. But when I first voted? I was clueless and unsure of anything. 

Because the people who worked there didn't allow pictures to be taken I had to take this screenshot from guide.seventy.org as a way to prove that I was there.
