Voter voices: Aura Cyger and Halina Wolf in Westside L.A.
Aura Cyger and Halina Wolf were casting ballots at the same Westside polling place this afternoon, but their reasons for voting differed.
Cyger said she was there primarily to vote against City Councilman Jack Weiss, who is running against Carmen “Nuch” Trutanich in what is likely to be a close race for Los Angeles city attorney.
“I think it’s time he was replaced,” she said of Weiss, who is her councilman.
Wolf said she was at the polling place at Olympic and Robertson boulevards because she felt a duty to vote at a time when she believes the country is headed in the right direction under President Obama.
“If I don’t vote,” she said, “I don’t think I have the right to protest if I don’t like something.”
