Hillary Rodham Clinton has never one been to cower in her long political career — making her a woman of many firsts. Clinton has been working in public policy for over 30 years, ranging from being the first lady of Arkansas to the first lady of the United States and also Secretary of State. Clinton started her work at the Children’s Defense Fund, a nonprofit that advocates particularly for poor children and minority children and those with disabilities. Many found Clinton to be an active first lady — unprecedented for the position — in that she helped create a children’s health care plan and through her infamous “Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights,” speech at the United Nations Fourth World Congress in Beijing. “[Clinton being so active] was
Donald J. Trump is a man of many trades. He’s a businessman, a celebrity, a public figure and, most recently, he’s a politician. Background While Trump primarily built his career in the business realm, he has surfaced as a political outsider in the 2016 election, bringing to the table issues he feels will “Make America Great Again,” a slogan deeply embedded within Trump’s campaign. He received his bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, and was given control of his father’s business, Elizabeth Trump and Son, in 1971. Trump went on to rename his father’s business “The Trump Organization.” The Trump Organization owns golf courses, hotels, luxury real estate and corporate business buildings across America. Since first speaking on his politi-
On Tuesday, many people believe they will simply be deciding between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for president. But those two aren’t the only options. While the Republican and Democratic parties dominate headlines and government alike, third parties are working behind the scenes to make their voices heard and get their candidates elected to the presidency. One of these parties is the Libertarian Party. On its official website, the concept of libertarianism is described as “[believing] in the American heritage of liberty, enterprise and personal responsibility.” The party is described to be for individuals who “… don’t want to push other people around and don’t want to be pushed around themselves.” The Libertarian Party has nominated New Mexico Gov. Gary John-
In the heat of the presidential election, the United States has resorted to being simply a two-party political system. But, Green Party nominee Jill Stein wants supporters to know she’s not backing down yet. Most recently, Stein was escorted off of the premises of Hofstra University — the site of the first presidential debate — after attempting to do a series of interviews before the debate. In response, Stein took to Twitter to answer debate questions in order to avoid making a scene outside the university grounds. She also did a livestream of her responses, which currently have more than 1.2 million views on Facebook. But, because she is a third-party nominee, her polling numbers are low, with the highest one being 4 percent, according to a recent McClatchy-Maris poll.

Where to vote on Election Day By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com To find where you vote on Election Day, you need to look up your voting precinct. You can look up your voting location through the Iowa Secretary of State’s website. Note that these locations are different from Iowa Caucus locations you may have visited in February. Here are the most common voting locations for students living in Ames: • If you live in Maple-Willow-Larch or any Richardson Court dorms, you vote at Maple Hall (precinct 4-2). • If you live in any dorms on the west side of campus, including Friley and Helser, you vote at the Union Drive Community Center (precinct 4-3). • If you live in Frederiksen Court, you vote at the Fire Service Training Bureau on the ISU campus, 1015 Haber Rd. (precinct 2-1). • If you live in SUV/University Village, you vote at Bethesda Lutheran Church, 1517 Northwestern Ave. (precinct 2-2). • If you live in University West, you will likely vote at Ames Middle School in room B111A, 3915 Mortensen Rd. (precinct 3-2). However, some in University West apartments, including some buildings leased by Iowa State, vote at Holiday Inn, Charolais Room, 2609 University Blvd. (precinct 3-1). Check for your specific
voting location with the Secretary of State. • If you live in Buchanan Hall or in Campustown north of Knapp Street, including Cyclone Tower, University Tower and Iowa State-leased Legacy Tower, you vote at Buchanan Hall, 2160 Lincoln Way. Anyone south of Knapp Street to Mortensen Road in Campustown votes at University Baptist Church, 2400 Mortensen Parkway (precinct 1-2). Greek Houses north of Greely Street also vote in precinct 4-1 (Buchanan Hall); any houses south of Sunset Drive at the Greek Triangle vote in precinct 1-2 (University Baptist Church, 2400 Mortensen Parkway). • If you live in apartments and homes directly west of campus, including on Sheldon Avenue, Hyland Avenue, Campus Avenue and Howard Avenue, you vote at Collegiate Presbyterian Church, 159 Sheldon Ave. (precinct 4-4). For others living in apartments and homes around the city of Ames away from campus, you will probably have a different voting location, which can be found by entering your address at the Secretary of State’s website. To register, print out a voter registration form on the Story County Auditor’s website or the Iowa Secretary of State’s website and mail it to the Story County Auditor, 900 6th St., Nevada, Iowa, 50201.

the election, you should find the voting location of where you currently reside. To find your voting precinct and location, visit the Iowa Secretary of State’s website. To prove you are who you say you are, you need to bring photo identification. Several forms of ID will satisfy this requirement, including a driver’s license, a non-driver ID card, a U.S. passport, a U.S. military ID, an ID card issued by employer or a student ID issued by an Iowa high school or college. An ISU ID you use on campus will satisfy this requirement. You also need to prove you reside and are able to vote in the precinct you are registering in. To prove your address, bring a document with your current address listed, such as a residential lease, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or
government check/document. If you live in university housing or work on campus, your on-campus housing contract or pay stub available through AccessPlus will satisfy the proof of residence requirement. If you cannot bring the documents listed above, a registered voter from your precinct may attest for you. Both you and the attester will be required to sign an oath swearing your identification and address provided are true. Iowa allows college students living away from home to register to vote at your residence for college. If your driver’s license lists your home address outside of Ames or Iowa, you can still register to vote where you reside to attend school. You can view sample ballots through the Story County Auditor webpage.

Iowa State President Steven Leath sent a video to the Iowa State community with a statement about the 2016 election and a reaction to posters found on campus a couple weeks ago. Leath discussed the atmosphere in the United States and on Iowa State’s campus this election season. “The 2016 presidential election has been arguably one of the most contentious, emotional and intense elections in history,” Leath said. “It’s ripped open deep societal wounds and ignited fierce debate in our country.” He said in this election the First Amendment “has been both exercised to its fullest extent and challenged to its core.” Then he went on to discuss how the discussion of Freedom of Speech applies to the white heritage posters found on campus a couple weeks ago. “The posters found on our campus two weeks ago may be factually described as “white heritage” posters rather than “white supremacy” posters because they do not legally violate the First Amendment,” Leath said. “However, as human beings we recognize those posters as hateful, racist and bigoted.” Leath then discouraged students from hatefilled speech. “Please hear me when I say this — anyone who feels their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion or political views makes them superior to others is encouraged to find another institution that aligns with their values. Iowa State is not the place for you.” He said the posters “evoked feelings of anger and disgust,” and he understands that some also feel scared for their safety and well-being. Leath ended the video by asking people to “honestly and respectfully express your ideas” and go vote.
