What kind of reactions do you get from people mostly? The first reaction is usually, you know, go away.
You know, stay away from the door.
Sometimes they think we're Jehovah's Witnesses.
Yesterday, they were coming out right behind us, so that kind of threw people off.
Who was? The Jehovah's Witness people.
They were coming around, doing their thing.
And people kind of think we're them, so they just ignore us.
But once they see the clipboards, they think it's something else.
So what are you guys doing? Oh, we're going around just trying to see if people are going to support Mayor Daly or Billy Ocasio for Alderman.
Most people usually say, yeah, there's a strong response in this area.
So when they say yes, what do you do? Oh, we make a little plus by their name.
If they say yes or Ocasio, we do the same.
And we answer any questions they have about it.
But usually when they say yes, it's just pretty straightforward, yes, you can leave now.
Good.
Can I ask one last question? Why is Daly so popular in this neighborhood? No, I really don't know.
I mean, this isn't really my neighborhood, so I can't really say.
But apparently he does.
How they like? How they like? The people, every people has them personality, you know, and somebody like Daly, somebody doesn't like.
But usually they like Daly.
A lot of people like Daly and the Alderman in the area.

But I am 18 years here.

I'm voting for the last four or five years.
Last four or five years? Alright, then, sir.
Do you know if they're home downstairs? You want to set this? I don't know.
Can you do us a favor if it's appropriate at one of these houses? It would be great to be able to get a sense of the neighborhood by also having the language differences.
So if you go to a house where somebody's...
Oh, Mary Stovall is in bed? Alright, well, uh...

It's either one or the other.
There is no...
Here, let me put it next to you, so you know where it is.
Yeah, I know.
Right there, right above your name there.
And there is no result on anything.
And, you know, everything cost money, and they make me nervous, you know.
And that's probably my nerves are shut now.
Well, that medication takes a while to work, too.
Five years, and they still...
It's still...
No, have to...
See, like today, oh, oh...
Right after breakfast.
Okay.
I lay down, I was sleeping.
Joe, this is my number, you got to put it on the refrigerator, okay? Yeah.
You need something to call...
Right, if you need...
If this doesn't...
It'll come, don't worry about it.
Yeah.
Then just fill it out.
What I have to do now? It'll come in the mail, okay? The bail, it'll come in the mail.
You did it before.
Yeah.
Punched what you want.
Yeah, and my wife, she don't have to...
Does she want one? Is she going to go out? No, she don't have time, because she have to be with me here.

I forgot that...
You won't declare a party.
Envelope, envelope, envelope, stove? Yeah, it will come.
You put it on, put a stamp on it.
If you have trouble, we'll help you out if you like.
Helen, I just need you to sign here.
I can fill out the rest of the...
Can I have this guy? Yeah, you have to sign.
Yeah, okay, thank you.
Right there, buddy.
Or you have to pay, or you have to pay a couple hundred dollars.
No, no, it's free this year voting.
No poll text.
If you have any problems with it, call me.
But you've done it before.
It's really simple.
Thank you.
It's very simple.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
We appreciate that.
Then you...
There is still time to...
We'll put it in the mail.
Tuesday? You should probably get it about Friday or so.
Sometimes the mail is...
Oh, I know.
If you want to, other than that, sometimes we can take it downtown and mail it for you.
But it should make it.
I don't foresee a problem.
Yeah, yeah.
If you think there's a problem, let us know.
Okay? Thank you very much.
This is Steve and Lou, and they're following me around, so, okay? So what were you doing here? Well, I had stopped by yesterday, and he told me that he might not be able to make the poll, because of the medication.
Some days he's not feeling well.
So I asked him if he wanted absentee, and he said yes.
But he had done it before, but he was nervous about it.
The hardest part is trying to explain to them about the open primary and nonpartisan primary.
So I try to fill them out to see if they're really interested in voting in the mayor's election, if they're interested in declaring the party, so you'll have them don't understand the nonpartisans of the aldermen.
So they basically just want to vote for me, so I put them down as nonpartisan.
They didn't really want to declare.
Are you sure he's going to vote for you? Well, I'd say the odds are about 99%.
He has a door he signed in front of me, and I've talked to him on the phone and helped him out a number of times, so I feel pretty comfortable.
He also felt like he could share some personal stuff with you.
Well, yeah, a lot of the seniors, a lot of times they don't have a chance to talk to a lot of people.
It's a visit to their house, and if you've been to your house before and talked to them on the phone, they feel comfortable with you.
So they tell you what their problems are, and you learn a lot too.
Okay.
Okay.
Sit back down.
You might be a jerk, but...
So then her daughter was, her granddaughter, I did an awards for drug awareness resistance education.
She says, do you know my grandma? I said yes.
She says, did she used to spank your butt very bottomless? Yes.
Your past catches up to you.
As you grow up in these days.
But Annie's in the widow for a while, so she might be out, you know, Sunday's a big church day and visiting day.
She was going out to sub -adjusting.
And she also, she asked me to see if I could take care of her water buffalo.
The box there is sticking up, and she's been trying for years to get it stuck back in the ground, but she wouldn't call me.
I said, didn't you call? Oh, you got too many other things to do.
I didn't want to bother you.
So she said just to put it between the doors.
What's a water buffalo? It's not a water, it's a buffalo box.
I don't know why they call it a buffalo box, but it's this turnoff for the water from the house.
What's that? A lot of people.
Why don't you shoot it, but then let me show you what I'm thinking.
I'm not helpful.
What? What's happening? Yeah.
It'll be...
Just wave your hand in front of the ones.
Okay, good.
Ready? Yeah.
And...
Pull.
Okay.
Too quick? No, that was pretty good.
Let's just do one more of those.
Okay.
Just...
There we go.
Ready.
All right? Yeah.
What?
