Colleen Ames will not be participating in this election because she feels “Both candidates are not fit for the position of leader of the free world. Both candidates in my opinion are not mature enough or emotionally stable to be running our country. Yes, people tell me I could choose the lesser of two evils, but I rather not choose evil at all.”
