'I hope we're heard' Sketch interviews with voters in a crucial swing state
The Guardian|November 06, 2024
LAST WEEK, the artist Lucinda Rogers made a short trip to Pennsylvania from New York to talk to people in the crucial swing state about the election. She addressed people at random and asked them what this year's election meant to them and how they thought the future would look depending on whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris won.
Drawings and text by Lucinda Rogers

The drawings were made in ink there and then, allowing time for her to get to know the person. Some she wanted to draw didn't want to talk about politics and were reticent because they wanted to preserve their privacy, or felt it was too divisive a subject.

"I've given out 50 signs over the past two weeks. I hope a Democratic Congress will pursue an agenda to protect reproductive rights, gun restrictions and Medicare on behalf of the majority of the people. Biden has done a fantastic job. I'm a union person and he expanded the right to organise."

She's saying she will help people go to work if they want to work, but that's not even close to being the truth. If you don't want to work, she's the greatest thing on the planet! You get paid for doing nothing. It's sad to think that money lets politicians do what the hell they want: politicians are just licensed to steal. I work for my goddam money."
