The election is now less than a month away. A year of campaigning, debates, scandals, bickering, name-calling and social media frenzies has all lead up to these next few weeks. These last few weeks will consist of the candidates trying to secure as many votes as they can before the election next month. This election has been all over the place, and there is a lot that people need to think about before it is time to go out and vote.

Where does the election stand?

With the election a few weeks away, the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has been becoming more hotly contested. Hillary Clinton is ahead of Donald Trump by 5.9 points, according to Real Clear Politics. The debates have so far been a lot of shouting matches between the candidates that have played some impacts on the polls. These last few weeks mean the candidates need to work as hard as they can to try and bring in those last few undecided or borderline voters to their cause.

A Scandalous Election

This election year will definitely go down as a year of scandals. It seems that every day people are talking about one of the candidates' scandals. From Donald Trump's comments about women or his tax returns, to Hillary Clinton's emails, there is always going to be something to question the candidates on. Many people plan on voting for the "lesser of two evils," whichever that one may be.

One for the history books

This is an election that will definitely go down in the history books. There has been so much controversy that has surrounded this election, and it is all leading up to this one day: a day that will not only impact the next four years but impact this country for years to come. No matter who ends up winning the election, November 8 will be an interesting day that will play a major role in our future.
