Out of Africa and Into the Trump Vote

Nine visiting African journalists witness the process of U.S. democracy in action.

From the bleachers at Reno High School, nine visiting journalists from Africa watched the U.S. election process Tuesday. Per Rebecca Kitchen, a reporter for local ABC affiliate Channel 8, the group was impressed by what they witnessed.

The Election Day watching is part of a broader set of activities for the visiting journalists under the auspices of the State Department’s International Leadership Visitors Program (ILVP). From Kitchen’s piece:

“We’re the Biggest Little City in the World so people can come here, feel like they’re in a great, warm, receptive community, get a good sense of things, but not be overwhelmed like a New York City or a San Francisco,” said Michael Graf, program coordinator for the International Visitor Programs at the University of Nevada, Reno.
