‘I knew what I was going in there for’hellip; It was easy, I read all the measures,’ said Joey James, junior at CSUN.

Some voters discussed problems they faced at the polls.

‘This morning I voted at the SSU. There was a guy there not registererd, and the poll workers told him he couldn’t vote’hellip; I told him he can vote provisionally – they vote at a particular station, and they send them to the correct polling place,’ said Jonnae Thompson, a senior English major.

‘Some people walked away because they didn’t know that, I voted provisionally because they said I voted absentee when I didn’t.’

Jasmine Wills, sophomore at CSUN said the voting process was ‘a lot more difficult than I thought.’

Clint Pereira, a senior English major discussed some of his polling issues. ‘There was confusion. I accidently wrote the wrong address, they had trouble finding my name,’ said Pereira.

I’m a McCain supporter but’hellip; It’s never been this way,’ said Katelyn Cox, sophmore business major. ‘I wanna make a change… If you don’t vote, you’re not in the fight,’ said Damon, a junior graphic arts major. ‘It was exciting, it was wonderful… The wait was well worth it,’ said Keishia Jervis, a sophmore deaf studies major. ‘It went smooth, it was a nice experience,’ said Asia Frances, sophmore CTVA major.
