Vote as you please

March 4, 2014 Eileen Smith 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.
