新しいアメリカ大統領決定の瞬間が近づいています。今日は朝からfacebookや大学の教室でもう投票したかどうかという話題でもちきりでした。私の友達は中央図書館やパイオニアスクエアで投票を住ませてみたいですが、どこで投票できるのかなどの全ての条件は州によって全く異なります。前回の日記の投票用紙もデザインが異なる州もあれば投票用紙すら送らない州もあります。
President position is having bigger power dynamics in all subjects nowadays. Many people know presidential election is a big event and affects their lives a lot. For students, more than half of them support themselves financially and the election can affect also their education system or job haunting environment, so it's easy to involve them with it.
アメリカ大統領の権力は日に日に大きくなっています。もちろん教育環境や就職活動の環境にもです。特に大学生に取っては、半分以上が授業料や生活費を自分で出してる学生が多いので投票は真剣そのものです。
What is interesting about today is that we can check which state got majority of who regardless time lag.
そしてアメリカでは時差に関係なくどの地域が誰の票が多いのかみることができます。
I saw this website from Oregon at 5pm. My friend told me Americans don't care who voted to who, and never be affected or try to much their opinions so they can show this information.
これはオレゴンから１７時にみたものですが、多分日本はこういうの禁止されてますよね？確かそれが選挙家かに影響するからだって。アメリカはその点別に誰が誰に投票したかで影響される人はいないのでこういう情報の公開も可能らしいです＾＾。
Waka! This is Ringo! I was actually looking at the Google polls ALL day when I was in Japan! I was super nervous about who the new President would be. Many of my American friends were also concerned and were watching the polls. Kansai Gaidai even had a room open with projectors of the polls for the students who were interested in watching.
