Why do you think that poll stations and booth's are getting so flooded?

I belive that so many people are voteing is because they want change. Also today lots of new young people are voteing so more stations are getting more people.

Do you think that this will effect the U.S.A in anyway? Why?

I think it could somewhat effect America in some way. I think we could have a bit different relationship then we had before with President Trumps personality and the newly elected President of Brazil.

  • I also agree it will effect us (the U.S) in some kind of way because of our President and how he handles things and stuff. I feel like it could also to benefital in another way to.

  • I think that since Brazil is so crime-ridden and impoverished at the moment, people want things to change for the better and want a better life for them and their family in Brazil. This could affect US-Brazil relations since one canidate might have some ideas about trading and relationship with the US 

  • I think there getting flooded because people want something diffrent. There striving for something new and better. Young people that are new in the states are voting as well. So it makes sense why it's flooded with new people and old people. There's always that chance that it will, But I think we will be alright. We always are at the end of everything else so I think this will turn out just fine.

  • I think that more people are voting because one the price to live is getting higher and they want that to change and two they are voting because there is the one that is saying that he is going to get more strict about the crime in the country and the people want that so they get involved.

    It might affect us but you never because if they dont get the president they want we could have more people coming here in order to get away from that life and it could not affect us

    • I agree with you about they want change, and i like that art where you say they want strict crime so they dont get involved, I think this a reason also.

  • Many people want change so they are starting to vote. It could possibly in a small way but I do not think it will affect us that much or if at all.

  • Brazil is a lower opperating country, so this is probably really nice to be able to have voice and chose what that want for their country. Well if we are allies with the person elected then it can be benificial, but if not then Brazil needs to become allies with us.

    • Yea, I agree with you about the its a low opperating country and they must like having a voice or a say in things like we do.

  • I agree with you. Like most other times, the poll stations and booth's are getting flooded because the people of Brazil want change. The way they see it, is if they don't go in and vote for who they would like to be elected, they have less of a chance to win. If the amount of people in Brazil go in and vote effects the outcome of the election, then yes I think it could have an impact on how many people in the U.S. vote.
