Students and Staff Share Anxiety and Relief

“I was surprised that Biden won. Considering that 4 years ago Americans voted for a president like Trump, I’m glad people finally realized the type of person he was and chose to vote him out and replace him with someone like Biden. He might not be the best option, but he’s still better than Trump.”  

"I’m really mad that people who are “poll watchers” and went to places where votes were being counted were not treated the same as BLM protestors. Where are the riot police? Where’s the rubber bullets? Where’s so-called 'law and order?'” 

“This year’s election has brought a great deal of stress and anxiety. It is not what one normally has to do during this period, depending on the outcome, to have to worry about your own safety. Even though I dread not knowing the results, I will wait.”  

“ I think I would say that I feel a bit anxious about the election. I feel a bit nervous since it's unpredictable and the results can change before they declare who got the presidency.”

“I guess I'm kind of nervous because they haven't fully counted all the votes. Trump and Biden are really close and it makes me nervous. If Trump continues on in the next four years, I'm not sure if he’ll be able to handle the things going on with the coronavirus. He says he’s done a good job but I don't see that - he's not implementing enough rules for the pandemic.”
