The Predictive Power of Halloween Masks
Tensions about this upcoming election have been high for quite awhile and with the November 8th election quickly approaching tensions are only going to increase. So I felt it would be fun to summarize a Halloween - Political article that I found in the Virginia Pilot. This article looks at how the Halloween costume industry index has successfully picked the winning president based off of sales of candidates Halloween masks. The candidate with the most sales seems to always win the presidential election. However, experts fear that this might be the year that the Halloween costume may be wrong. Costume retail managers are saying that many of the presidential masks that are being bought this year are for the purpose of mocking that candidate. One customer bought a Hillary Clinton mask to go with a prisoners outfit, while others are buying Trump masks with a license to grope accessory. With the big costume buying rush coming up nest week it will be interesting to see what the Halloween Costume Index predicts.

There is a movement going on in Virginia right now that is trying to ban guns at polling places where they are currently allowed. The only places they aren't allowed are places like schools which already have state laws banning guns. With the way this election cycle is going, some pollsters are worried about violence at the polls and want the guns to be out of the situation. State Representative Robert G Marshall shut down the movement pretty quickly. He told the voting board that hey have no power to do such a thing. Some people in the Prince William area have already said that they will be voting absentee out of fear of violence occurring. So while there is a movement in Prince William County to make voting polls a gun-free zone, it's not looking like it's going to happen.
