MAT 115

I voted at Villa Madonna in Villa Hills, Kentucky. That is where I contacted the voters, and the results were kind of lopsided. This is somewhat of a small precinct, and I live right down the street from it. Because I live so close to it, more than half of the people that I contacted I knew before hand. In the thirty minutes that I was there, I only came in contact with 23 people. There were four people that just ignored me (so I guess there was 27 people total), but everyone else was cooperative. I did not have anyone that told me no, and a lot of that was due to the fact that I knew many of the people. Since I went there in the middle of the afternoon, (about 3 P.M. to 3:30 P.M.) it was probably not the most crowded time. The results were not surprising, because I live in a very conservative area and most of them voted for Rand Paul. Out of the 23 people, only two voted for Conway. The remaining 21 voted for Paul. This wasn’t really surprising, because as I said before most people in the area have more conservative leanings.

The voting process itself was somewhat interesting. I remember the last time at this precinct, in which they had electronic machines that were used. Those were completely gone, and we used a paper ballot this time. Each candidate had a box next to their name where we would fill in with a pen if we wanted to vote for them. Then the ballot was taken up to a machine where it was scanned and submitted. I had never seen it done this way before, and I found it interesting.
