Election Day 2012

Election Day is always an exciting day as a journalist. I captured the day for my photojournalism class on a deadline, which was challenging and a good experience. I went to the Moon Township Municipal Building and Moon Area High School to capture some of the volunteers and voters in the afternoon. A few of my photos were published on the Point Park News Service website here.

Gwen Ogle, 82, of Moon Township hands out Republican literature outside of the Moon Township Municipal Building in the afternoon of Election Day 2012. Ogle has lived in Moon Township since 1959 and has never missed voting in an election. She tries to work the election every year by handing out flyers and information. 

Frank Wisen, 23, passes out flyers at Moon Area High School for Republican candidate Mark Mustio, who is running for state representative for the 44th legislative district. This is Wisen’s first time hanging out flyers in an election. 

Crimson Pavlekovsky, 18, holds up her voter stub after voting in her first election at Moon Area High School in the afternoon of Election Day 2012.  She was excited to vote for the first time and feels “pretty confident” that her candidate will win. Pavleskovky is a student at Robert Morris University and the school provided shuttles for students to vote at Moon Area High School.
