Video 3: Every Vote Counts

We are told time and time again that voting is important and that every vote counts. But how true is that? When watching contest shows like American Idol they announce over 100 million votes were submitted. In presidential elections the results are decided by the electoral college. How do our votes really count?

On a campus like WSUV, where there are only about 3000 students every vote really does count. Last year's election was decided by 10 votes and this year's was only decided by 1.

I interviewed 8 people for this video but only ended up including 4 of them. The interviews were from the current two figures that were elected for ASWSUV President and Vice President and then the two ASWSUV Senators that ran agains't them. 

I found the wind to be a challenge with the sound of my interviews and other sounds on campus to be sometimes distracting but I wanted to do my interviews outside because of the weather and the different background/angle options. 

My query letter was addressed to The Columbian about a different event. If I were to redo my query letter I would readdress it to the Vancougar because it is specific to our campus and students.
