"Citizen Observers" Share Their Voting Experiences

Vote Hope!

The Colin McEnroe Show has an Election Day tradition of celebrating voters by inviting "citizen observers" from around the state to share their experience with voting. An ongoing pandemic and tensions stemming from a deeply divided electorate make this a year like no other.

People nationwide are working hard to make sure their vote is counted. They're voting early, they're waiting hours in line, and some are flying "home" to vote in-person to ensure their vote is counted. 

Election Day still has the power to inspire and make me hopeful that we're more united than some would have us believe. 

Call us today at (888) 720-9677 with your Election Day stories. We'll take as many calls as we can.
