2020 Election: everybody has something to say
October 30, 2020
Various opinions on the 2020 Election are circulating at Morton East; but all agree: this is a crazy election.
The 2020 election is on Tuesday, November 3. U.S. citizens over the age of 18 are allowed to vote for a new president or reelect the old one. Currently, Donald Trump is the president of the United States but the people have a chance to change that. The two main presidential candidates are Donald Trump (Republican candidate) and Joe Biden (Democratic candidate), but there are others on the ballot as well: Howie Hawkins (Green Party candidate) and Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian Party candidates). Trump’s and Biden’s vice-presidential candidates are Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, respectively. Originally, presidents serve a 4-year term, but they can be reelected and serve another 4 years. Therefore, this election is very important because it determines the next 4 years for everyone in the United States. They can either be the same as before or it could be completely different. It is possible for people to vote early this year and studies show a lot of citizens did already. In a random poll of Morton East voting students, 5 out of 6 reported that they voted for Joe Biden/Kamala Harris.
“This is an extremely important election. The country is so incredibly divided now,” government teacher Mr. White said.
There is a democratic side which is left and a republican side which is right.
“It truly doesn’t matter who you vote for, the US elections are the least competitive in terms of what’s truly are stake, there is no racist president that is introducing anything radical.” senior Felipe Vazquez said.
There are people who take the election very seriously while others don’t care as much.
“The election is dumb; they both suck but I would vote for Biden,” senior Itzi Espinosa said.
There were two debates this year and the election is on November 3.
“This is an (expletive) show,” Government teacher Mr. White said.
There are outsiders who are just watching to see what happens.
“This is going to be one interesting election,” college student Jessica Herrera said.

Judge: Yeah I agree people take this way to far and what actually matters is who controls the senate and from what it seems like to me our vote(normal civilians like your parents) isn’t even that impactful its the electoral college votes. I would say it depends on which media source society mainly watches these days that’ll determine the popular vote because I don’t think most don’t make up there mind, it’s mainly CNN which is left and Fox news which is right, I try to see both views and sometimes what they show is just plain funny to me, but yeah in the end those media sources are just trynna get you to bite each others heads off over something that will seemingly determine weather you’ll live a happy life even though that choice is actually yours no matter who is in office.

(Judge) I agreed with this article, the presidential election will determine the next four years and it’s up to the people if they vote or not. What is upsetting is that the country is becoming very divided, which doesn’t show much of a good future. Whoever wins has to keep that in mind and do something about it.

(judge) I like how they are informing us about this election. The interviews as well to give us some of peoples opinions and informing us of the candidates from each party actually running for the chance to be president.

(Judge) This indeed is a very important election, due to our country divided. Us Gen Z people that can’t vote, is depending on others to make the right choice since this is the future we are talking about. I like how the writer interviewed people on what the think about this presidential election.

(judge) the election isa bit stressful because there are many people that support someone that is going to make society worse, while most of Gen Z is going for a more superior president but Gen Z cant even vote which is putting both presidents at very close points in becoming closer to be president.

(Judge) The elections are crazy this year. Never know who might win, but whoever does hopefully they’ll work on making things a lot better.

There are still chances to hold the House and Senate even if Trump loses the presidency, but it could be an indication of a possible Republican victory

This is a very nerve wracking election because of the late results from the mail in ballots.
