After watching this film. I realized how careful and conscientious you have to be about almost everything you do. Not only regarding politics, but everything since its so easy to trick the minds of other people with the right connections. I thought that the fact that this happened to the people of Florida in 2000 was horrible and it should have never happened. The fact of the election was undermined should be enough for anyone to see how wrong this was, but It didn't work for most people. I'm glad to know that the state of Maine uses paper ballots instead of the touch screen ballots to vote. Just knowing that you're vote is on a piece of technology would make me uncomfortable thinking that someone could mess with the touch device. I'm not aware of which states if any use the touch devices to vote, but I'm glad to know that Maine uses paper. I'm sure that's reassuring to many state citizens.

Debates

I think that after watching all three debates so far, that this last debate we watched was the the most interesting to watch. I think that since this was the last debate until the debate that both candidates wanted to make sure that they got to say every possible thing they could, since this is the last major advertising for them until the election. This past debate was very important for both McCain and Obama since this is such a close election. I would say that the second presidential debate was the hardest to sit through because it was more of a continuation of the first.

HQ Questions

Question # 1. About how many people do you have on an average day visit the HQ?
Answer. They just opened and havn't had to many people come on yet, but they are still getting the word out that they are located there.

Question # 2. Do you think Obama will visit Maine before the election?
Answer. I never got to ask this question, but my own thoughts are that he won't come to Maine again before the election. He is very busy and came to Maine a little while ago.
