published a blog entry on, IN THE PINK, about her voting in the election. The way she was swayed
into making her decision was probably not as strong nor as confident one should
be when voting. After watching the film, “The Last One Standing,” in lecture.
It sure made me realize we need to advise voters to do some research before
voting. So many voters just go about what others say or what they hear. Voters
need to do research on the candidates so they choose something they want to
happen or what is important to them. If they did their research we’d have
informed voters during the election time period to spread the word about who
they thought would be a better candidate and why. Her support towards her vote
is an embarrassment in my opinion. She had absolutely no clue about the people
she voted for. It was like we blindfolded someone and tried playing pin the
tail on the ballot instead of the donkey. That is how clueless this voter was
about selecting the candidate. I would actually give her some credit towards
her blog for advising her social media friends threw her blog that voting is
going on. I guess I’d also give her some more credit for spreading the word
about how much longer the polls were going to be open. I’d give her two stars
on her blog. The first star would be for actually going to vote. As for the
second star I’d give it to her for spreading the word on her blog that the
polls were going to be open longer that evening.
