Vaquero Voice

“Hopefully, people who are registered to vote go out and vote. It’s a right that needs to be practiced. This election could easily go either way, so I hope people vote for who they think has views that would be of most benefit to the country.”

“I already early voted and I don’t know what’s going to happen [on] Election Day. I think everybody is nervous. I think it just depends on who goes out and votes. I feel like to pick between Trump and Clinton it’s—I don’t know. I really don’t know what’s going to happen. I already voted and I really hope people go out to vote.”

“Mi opinión acerca de la elección es que pues, que escojan a la persona [que] piensen que puede hacer lo mejor para nuestro país. Pero como a muchos no les gusta ninguno de los dos [candidatos], Trump ni Hillary, creo que es mejor escojan a la persona que crean que será menos peor para el país. Yo pienso que en el futuro, esta elección va a ser muy importante y necesitamos votar. Porque si va a afectar mucho el futuro, especialmente todas las cosas que están pasando ahorita, y si estaría bien que todos fueran a votar porque es nuestro derecho. No importa si no te gustan los candidatos, pero sí importa dar tu opinión, tu voz, tu voto”.

“Well, to me, we are all in this together, so I don’t see why we need to segregate, ’cause I see a lot of people segregating Republicans and Democrats. At the end of the day, once it happens, everybody is back to, you know, ‘We are Americans, we like each other, this and that.’ But right now, there is too much tension between everybody and I don’t think that’s a good thing. Everybody has the right to their own opinion and the way they want to do things or the way they think things should work, but at the end of the day, we are all in this together. So, I say we should just look past that. Everybody can have their opinion and let’s move on with it.”
