            When I first pulled up to the fire house, I didn’t know if I was going to be able to do this project, because I don’t like talking to people I don’t know, especially if it’s about a touching subject. Well, I knew I had no choice so I got out of the car and stood by the door waiting for my first voter to come out. After about 3 times of me saying, “Hi, my name is Priscilla Brownfield and I am a NKU student and I am taking an exit poll for a class on the Kentucky Senate Election, may I ask who you voted for?” And then handing them 2 pieces of paper, a lady came out the building and asked what I was doing, I had never thought about it but I probably should have told them what I was doing and why before I started. But in the end, she told me that she was the sheriff of the fire department and that it was a great idea to take an exit poll, and she was really interested in how we as a class are going to look at the results and talk about it.

            I met some really nice people that didn’t mind telling me who they voted for and why and wished me luck in my exit polling. On top of meeting nice people I also met some really hateful ones too. I only had 5 people refuse and they would cut me off before I even finished my introduction, and some would just keep walking. I’m going to lie, but I didn’t ask like 3 people for their vote, because they looked so mean. Half way through my polling, a helper from inside came out and very rudely said” what are you doing here,” while I was in the middle of talking to another person. I calmly said that I was a NKU student taking an exit poll and that I already had talked to the sheriff. I don’t think she liked that, because she just turned around and went back inside.

            I was glad that I was not too cold out that day and there were a lot of people at the fire house so I didn’t have to stand out there long. I believe that most of the people just gave me a vote because I am an NKU student and just wanted to help me out, but I still have fun in the long fun and it turned out to be okay.

            When I got home I asked my grandparents who they voted for, because they voted early In the day and both of them and my dad voted for Rand Paul, which I thought was funny, because they are not related but still have strong beliefs and issues on who they voted for.
