I can’t vote because I’m not a citizen. Overall, I am not into politics. If I could, I would vote for Obama. I think everyone should go out and vote and not waste the opportunity.

I think voting is very important. If you don’t vote, then you are not supposed to complain about what’s going on.

We need to reorganize and find a way to represent more people because we live under a democracy. This is the first time I get to vote. I think it’s important. But i hate that i have to vote either democrat or republican.

I am not a fan of this year’s election. Both representatives are missing points that are important. They are misleading the people by pandering to whatever they want. I feel like most of the time people think voting is about who is most famous.

I don’t have any interest in elections. It’s a dull matter to me.

Voting in general never really did anything. Although, we “have a say,” it’s ultimately the big-money corporations and lobbyists that have the real influence on the politicians.

This year’s elections is important. Everyone 18 or older should be registered. Issues like health care are very important, particularly for young people. They may have to pay for their grandparents healthcare, if Obamacare is reversed.

It’s not as groundbreaking. When Obama was first running, it was sensational. He was the first black president. People are over it. So people treat it as just another election. The next sensational thing is when we have a woman running.
