Video: Are these the voters candidates are wooing?

As the election nears the candidates are focusing on one thing: undecided voters.

With a handful of swing states up for grabs, Joe Biden is pulling weeds in the yards of middle-of-the-road moderates. Campaigns are gearing up to spend the rest of their funds on advertising in a few select battleground states.

Educated voters Dave Ross and Luke Burbank saw a couple of bits over the weekend that had them thinking about who exactly is the “undecided voter.”

Saturday Night Live took a crack at those that have yet to make up their mind.

Regardless of how informed a voter is when they walk into the booth, Dave stressed the importance of the last minute advertising. “Every survey shows: the fact checking, the number crunching – people will vote on an emotional reaction when it comes to checking the box.”

Luke wishes there was a way “the rest of us” weren’t completely ignored. He would like a hand with some his yard work from the Vice President of the United States. But unfortunately, “The people who are really rewarded in the end are the people who haven’t made up their mind.” The rest of the voting population will just have to accept that we may be taken for granted.
