On television.

I think that my vote will have a small impact but combined with the other people that is basically the election.

My interviews where with two different men who had 2 different views on today's election. As you can see both of these men did not know why we voted on Tuesday, but they did tell me that the government would close all the bars and liquor store's for the day (did not know that one). All in all, I guess you can say that these two men have very different political views as well as really pay attention to whom they are voting for.
