Voting Interview Questions and Responses
Names of Interviewees: Kate and Brian
Place of Interview: Mitchell Elementary School (pictured below)
1.) What motivated you to come out and vote?
I was motivated because back in the day, my people couldn't vote. After they endured dogs and hoses just so that I could go out and vote, I want to do so. Besides, I think politics is interesting.
My wife keeps telling me that I need to vote, so I did.
2.) What would you like to see changed in our political system?
I would like to elect an honest politician. So many of today's politicians just say what will make everyone happy, without doing anything.
I don't like the fact that election day is not on the weekend. I feel like this is all a waste of time.
3.) Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?)
Yes, I vote in every election because some of my ancestors could not. I just feel that it is my duty to continue to vote, since they never will have that opportunity.
No, I usually don't vote. I only vote when it's the presidential election.
4.) Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
No, but that's a good question. I guess that we will never know.
No. It's Tuesday? I thought it was Wednesday.
5.) What was the most memorable campaign that you have encountered?
The campaign of Barack Obama was very powerful to me. I have never felt so connected to one man that I had never met. I just knew that he would be the perfect president.
The election of Barack Obama in 2008. I just have never seen so many people determined to vote. I was standing in line for like ten minutes.
6.) What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
I hope that Philadelphia will become easier to live in. Hopefully the democrats will win, because this will help to do that. After all, the mayor is a democrat. That means there will be less opposing forces battling to get their way.
I hope that the flash mobs will stop in Philadelphia. I'm tired of feeling afraid to leave my house.
7.) 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?
I hope that my vote will help to choose the right person, but its only one vote. Yes, I did somewhat learn about voting in school, but my parents taught me the most about it. In fact, they are the main reason that I come out to vote, because since they've passed away, I feel that it is my responsibility to continue that tradition.
Hopefully my vote will be a step in the right direction. No, I didn't learn about voting in school. My parents told me about it. But, I was never really in to voting because people get too carried away with it. I don't feel like stressing myself out, hoping that someone will win or lose.
