As the electoral votes for each of the states were revealed, students cheered while others mourned to see the results. The event showed CNN live report throughout the night. Some of the states that revealed the results during the event included Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina. The American Democracy Project made the night extra eventful for students by adding in a photo both, media outlets, mock voting, raffle tickets for prizes to win and pizza for the students to enjoy. The room was filled with colorful decorations and brought the energy of the night together. “There has been so much engagement from the students, for them to give up their Tuesday night and come celebrate this election is a great feeling and is the goal for the American democratic project,” Allison Ramsey, ISU grad student and the event coordinator of the Pizza and Politics said. The election night of Pizza and Politics brought the most crowd out of all of the previous events that they have hosted. “I’m surprised by the amount of attention and the student engagement we have tonight. This is such an educational moment for all of us and a celebration of democracy. I am very happy to see the students care about this historical moment happening tonight and I hope that they continue to care about democracy in the future,” Ramsey said.
