Sadly, most felt that neither candidate was worth voting for. Some comments...
Neither represented their interests. (Nothing changes for them)
Neither candidate inspired or earned their vote
They aren't willing to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.
They didn't feel obligated to vote, believe their vote won't make a difference.
They say that they're both the same, politicians, untrustworthy, uninspiring.
I'm hopeful 20% will vote. I think we can get the vote from women. I try not to get discouraged when I hear comments like those, and continue to encourage voting at every opportunity.
