Kyle Allen, a Democratic voter, stood in a growing line of students waiting to vote in the bustling USC Village. He expressed a mix of excitement and anxiety about the upcoming election, noting the significant voter turnout expected from youth and older generations.
Allen emphasized the importance of civic duty and said he hopes voter participation will lead to change. He is concerned about the potential influence of social media on post-election perceptions. Critical issues for Allen include financial support for schools and addressing social structures to empower disenfranchised groups, aiming for progress and equality.

Twin brothers Justin, right, and Joseph Fisher, both Republicans, are casting their votes at the USC campus, expressing their enthusiasm to “Make America Great Again.” Justin Fisher said he had already voted early for Donald Trump, and is concerned about potential unrest following election results. The twins expressed their hope for positive changes in line with their political views, as they consider critical issues like border security, economic stability, and inflation.

Reagan Gwynette, 18, is excited to cast her first-ever ballot in person at the University of Southern California campus. Originally from South Carolina, she opted to vote at her college polling place.
Gwynette believes that the U.S. elections should focus more on “tensions with other countries” but not at the expense of local issues.
Gwynette also looks forward to celebrating if her candidate wins. “I’ll treat myself to a cupcake,” said Gwynette.
She is excited to participate in this historic day. (Photo by Emery Davis/Cronkite News)
Under a hot sun, students fan themselves with pink ballots as the polling line grows at USC Village. Chase Landa, a USC student, stands with friends inching closer to the voting building, still undecided on his candidate. Though he identifies as a moderate, he leans Republican.
When asked what excites him most about this election, Landa replied, “For it to be over, to be honest; there’s just a lot of stress around it.” Landa worries about the outcomes, fearing shifts toward extremes like dictatorship or socialism. Regardless of the results, he plans to celebrate by continuing his everyday, happy life. (Photo by Emery Davis/Cronkite News)
