Voting Paper

While never doing this before I learned many things. I was a little concerned at first on how people were going to react. We heard many stories and were hesitant to start. Neither one of us wanted to be the first one to talk. We thought about going in and asking if it was okay, but instead we decided to take out chances and just start. It went with a lot more ease then I thought. It seemed to me that their initial reaction was a little standoffish; they seemed worried about what we were going to ask. Once we introduced ourselves and explained to them what we were doing they lightened up a lot. We found it a common thing that once we explained what we were doing they were happy to tell us and the majority of the time they did not mind to give us back the other slip of paper. Some were not confidential at all while others told us no. It was a common reoccurrence that the older voters were more common to say no or keep it confidential, while the younger voters were more than happy to jus tell us who. We had four voters tell us no and it seemed to be the older voters. It was not extremely busy at the time we went, but there was a constant flow of people. We went to the Wilder police department from 11-11:30 and received a 12-3 vote with Rand Paul as the winner.
