50 year old votes for the first time in his life due to trump
Four years of Donald Trump is enough for me," said Victor Tellesco, a 50-year-old from the Phoenix suburbs who voted for the first time in his life on Arizona's first day of early voting last week. Tellesco, a registered Democrat, had requested and received a mail ballot, but he decided not to wait.
"Every time I see him on TV, my blood pressure goes up," he said. "It just made me feel like I needed to vote this year. I don't know why I've never voted before. But this year, it feels like I needed to vote."
While polls show that Democrats are more likely to vote by mail this year, there are signs that many are abandoning those plans and showing up in person instead. That trend was apparent this week in Fulton County, Ga., where it helped drive long lines at early voting centers, officials said.
"We're getting a lot of reports of people canceling their ballots by mail," said Rick Barron, the elections chief in Fulton County, home of downtown Atlanta

but he didn't think it was important to vote in 2016 when an obvious lunatic fascist was in danger of being elected?
