I am voting for my grandmother who was one of the thousands as a direct result of the Trump administration’s negligence of the pandemic. The administration is perpetuating and creating problems of injustice and inequality at a time when America needs to stand united. I am voting because America will not survive four more years of Trump.” — Julia Newman, 19, Hudson, Ohio. “I am a Hispanic, female, suburban, Republican, never-Trumper. Voted Libertarian in 2016. I have had my absentee ballot in hand for two weeks now and yet it is very hard for me to actually vote for Biden. I can’t stand Trump, and yet his economic policies have benefited me and his foreign policy, as erratic as it has been, yields results. If Biden would just promise not to stack the Supreme Court I could easily fill out the ballot, check that box and mail it in. But I’m still waiting.” — Anna Maria Fernau, 55, McLean, Va. “I’m voting for my mother and grandmother — proud Taiwanese immigrants. Under President Trump’s leadership, Asian-Americans have had to cope with dual pandemics: Covid-19 and anti-Asian racism. My vote says that his brand of hatred should have no home here.” — Elizabeth Allard, 30, Washington, D.C. “Climate change. I am not even 20 and I would like a world to live in as I grow older, a gift to share with my children.” — Arpan Kumar Barua, 19, Germantown, Md. “Safe access to abortion for women. The end.” — Kara May, 51, Edmonds, Wash. “The loss of pride in our government and our institutions. In just four years, this sense of pride has been corroded by an unimaginable complacency for bigotry and hatred so far removed from my understanding of what our flag stands for. I want that sense of pride back!” — Modesto Bigas-Valedon, 49, Chadds Ford, Pa.
