Long Voting lines at my small neighborhood Library. It seemed like it is election day in NC

I was happily shocked at the lines of cars and people. A supervisor said it's been nonstop and unprecedented.

I took with me 3 art school students ( from left to right: a violinist, a visual artist, and a bass opera singer) to vote for their first time ever, here they are standing at my car displaying their "I voted early stickers" and pleased as punch to be old enough to vote in this election.

We delivered 4 votes for the President.

languages as a hobby, speaks several, and is in the process of "inventing" a language of his own.
These kids are all amazing. University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
He is old enough to vote, he is in college though for extra talent the school has a high school program as well.
