6:37 p.m. – Undecided voters make decisions
On Nov. 1, the Collegian asked three undecided CSU students what issues mattered to them. The three have now made up their minds; here’s what they decided:
Robin Carrera, sophomore, business major
“I voted for Mitt Romney. As a business student, I like his method of creating jobs and he does it by keeping taxes lower on business and I think that makes more sense than Obama’s plan of taxing businesses more and trying to invest more money to create jobs.”
Gus Worden, sophomore, undeclared
Worden voted for Obama. “I was looking more about the situation with Pakistan and I feel that Obama is handling it a lot better than Romney would. The debates also led me to like Obama more than Romney.”
Chris Lopina, senior, journalism
Lopina voted for Obama. “The fact that I really don’t like Mitt Romney at all. I don’t really like either of them but I like Mitt Romney way less.”
