Dennis Mawson's Election Day Interview

​Me: What would you like to see changed in our political system?
Interviewee: I would like to see the dirtiness of campaigning changed. I feel that candidates attack each other and do all of these sorts of mud slinging far too often mess with the campaign and make it something it shouldn’t be.

Me: What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?
Interviewee: The most memorable campaign I have seen has been for he democrat Brendan Boyle (she then pointed to her shirt with his name on it.)

Me: Are you always sure of whom you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?
Interviewee: Well usually I stand out and encourage people to vote, no matter who it is for, but I already have my mind made up one way or another and I show support for my candidate as much as possible.

Me: What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?
Interviewee: I feel that my vote and my support of my candidate and trying to get everyone else to vote will help Boyle to become elected and hopefully to get him elected.

Me: Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today?
Interviewee: I did learn about voting in school. We learned mostly about how the president is elected, things like that. We talked a little as we got older about the importance of voting, and I really took it to heart. That’s why I come out every election and show support and always cast my vote.
