We all know what the
results are, but why did everyone vote for who they voted
for? Was it because of the debates? Was it because they
were registered as a republican or democratic? Maybe it
was because they want to see what one candidate vs. another
would do for the United States? Well to find out what the
people thought, we at HarlemLIVE decided to take matters
into our own hands and survey those in our community to
find out why they voted for each candidate.

Did you vote?
Yes
Who did you vote for?
Bush
Why did you vote for them, if you did not vote why not?
I voted for Bush because of the fact that the election is
based on the war. Both candidates are over looking other major
topics such as abortion, urbanization, morals and discrimination.
Everyone is worrying about finance but should really be more
concerned with morals.

Delaying world order is my main priority. I know Kerry will
delay while Bush would just hasten the whole process. Also,
Kerry seems to be lighter on African-Americans.
