The Ellis County Democratic and Republican Parties gathered with supporters to watch the 2024 Presidential Election on Tuesday night. Democrats hosted a watch party at On The Rocks, while Republicans watched at the Fox Theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For both parties, the election between Democratic candidate and sitting Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump represents a critical moment for the country\u2019s direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travis Couture-Lovelady represented Kansas as a delegate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe future of the country is certainly at stake,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a pivotal election with our open border policies and the way the economy is going. It\u2019s going to set the path for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Amy Bergman, a member and volunteer of the Ellis County Democratic Party, humanity and democracy were at stake in the election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe country is so divided right now between both parties,\u201d she said. \u201cIt goes deeper than that. It goes back to morals, basic humanity, and human rights. When you are voting for a candidate, you\u2019re not voting for the perfect candidate, regardless of the race. Whether it\u2019s a local race, statewide race, or a federal race, you are voting for what you believe at your core is important to you. You can\u2019t not vote, and you can\u2019t just not take it lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
