Voting Interview

Susan
She votes in every election-- local, state or national. She registered to vote the day she turned eighteen. She is also active in the military which I think adds motivation to vote because she interacts with choices that are made on a daily basis on a more personal level than the rest of us.

Rita
She hasn't voted since she was young. She thinks that the men in Washington are going to do as they please regardless of her vote. Since moving back to Oklahoma, three years ago, she hasn't even re-registered.

Lana
She votes in National Elections if she has the time, but otherwise feels that she doesn't have the time to do the research to make a truly informed decision and thus shouldn't vote.

LaDonna
Claims to have voted in every election, but has never mentioned politics and knows very little about local, state or national campaigns.

TJ
Votes often locally, state and nationally, but feels that is a private matter.

Rose
Has never voted. She moved to this country from Africa and doesn't feel very invested in politics.

Joyce
Votes in every election. Especially locally because she has six children who have gone through the public school system and works for the state as a counselor.


Bre, Rebecca, and Jamiece
Registered in high school, but haven't voted.
