The energy when dropping off our ballots was amazing
Im in Washington state, Seattle to be specific, but we went down to an unincorporated part of the community of White Center to the library when a ballot box was. Its a rough, diverse, working class neighborhood.
Man that dumpster sized ballot box was getting full! LOTS of the under 30 crowd, people of all ethnicities, we were wearing masks and socially distancing as our turn came up, I just got out of the car and ran up, but it was like automatic, Respectful, met the eyes of young people and got that we are in this together nod you could see the pride. Feel the hope.
It was one of the best voting experiences Ive ever had, and it lasted about a minute
