The View From Your Election: Nebraska
A fascinating take from a new media voter:
This is my first election year without a TV or local radio. I have been
completely dependent on the internet and print media for my electoral
news.
Instead of bulleted paragraph points in a brochure or
snippets of speech chosen for me by an editor or the oddness of my
brain, I have read (and reread) or watched (and rewatched) entire
speeches and election platforms online.
The result of all this exposure dawned on me
when I glanced at my ballot. Instead of the straight Republican ticket
of previous years, my ballot this year is a jumbled, bi-partisan
alphabet soup of R's, D's, and I's. I feel so much hope and delight
about this!
