Wisconsin held their Republican and Democratic presidential primaries on Tuesday August 3, and Eric Oliver and I conducted exit polls for our Seminar in Journalism class. For detailed results of the exit poll and an accompanying story detailing my experiences, click the eon the picture o
The results of our exit poll: Mitt Romney won the Republican primary hands down. Romney would win for real later that night. I conducted my polling at a polling station in Marquette University's Alumni Memorial Union. I thought that the high amount of students would give Ron Paul more votes, but he received just nine percent of the total votes in our exit poll.
I enjoyed my experience polling voters. I was hanging out around the polling station for almost three hours, and observing the process of voters registering, voting, voting again because the messed up their first ballot was very interesting. At one point, one of the election judges called me over and asked me to sign in as an "election obsever," even giving me a sticker to wear. This made it feel very official for me.
