When Thing Get Heated

Hmmmmmm.... well seems things like everything elce in texas(most of the time) are to hot to hadle and the election is surly one of them. After reading my colleague’s (Jordan) post on the emotional situtation facing Americas youth I would like to say "cool". I am not here today to to bash you or to tell you that your feeling are missplaced but, in a world full of anger we must hold our selves to a higher standard. I agree with you on most of your points but, as I said earlier we must keep a calm head and not let the events of other consume us. You gave very good points however, you lacked a system in which the the un-nerve can be healed.


To Caitlin Caputo who commented "We will continue to scream and fight until our lungs give out and our fists bleed" you have become part of the problem that my colleague’s talk about. We must join togeather to make situations change. When people loot, riot, and beat one another do to a differance in idology then there lies the issue, that human kind has failed. From failure come opertunity, we have all scene the Horriers that "both" have caused, no one person is with out blame but we can rebuildand grow and hopefully we can learn from both the good and bad of Trumps term.

Trust Issues


  • Doyin Oyeniyi's "How Much Will Voters Trust Election Results on Election Day" is an article covering the american people trust in our election system. Oyeniyi's starts off the most iconic figure for stating voter fraud in america Donald trump. Trump goes into saying how polls, media, and TV programs are all out to take him down and stop him from becoming the next president. Research shows more that regardless of being Democrat or Republican if the other side wins then the losing side will cry wolf.  The topic of voter fraud is nothing new George Bush had an investigation in which little to no evidence was found. But more importantly he address some issue with today's election system and the reason for Americas miss trust. Oyeniyi's brings up three main points "Politiqueras", voter intimidation, and voter anxiety. "Politiqueras"is a term used to describe when " people hired by local politicians gather mail in ballots of mostly elderly voter in areas with large Latinos populations". Next he address voter intimidation in which he references very real issue such as in Pennsylvania in which an incident occurred leading to the officials reminding the public that voter intimidation is a two year punishment with a $5000 fine. Next voter anxiety, with so much pressure on voter today with all that is going on it can lead to high levels of anxiety. Last last but not least he mentions voter fraud. Voter fraud is made to look to be a major issue even though little to no actual data. Ye,s voter fraud does happen in America but to the extent the republican leader have made it out to be does not exist. Doyin Oyeniyi's does not mention his qualification but does an amazing job of listing sources and giving case by case arguments for the many issue facing our election system today.
