I needed to speak to a customer service representative at one of the big box stores. A very nice woman with a southern accent answered the call. At the end of the conversation she said "is there anything else i can help you with?"
I couldn't help myself. I said: "Thank you Latisha. There is one more thing. Please vote!" She had maintained a professional tone of voice up to this point. When I asked her to please vote she became excited and replied: "I registered to vote.. well I always vote but I registered my husband to vote. Thank you. We will vote."
I added: "And get all of your friends to vote." She said: "We will. Thank you."

(3,275 posts)I have reminded all of my friends and family to vote. I have researched where their polling places are or how to vote absentee in their state.

(595 posts)She made a point of saying she got her husband to register. A great sign of her enthusiasm.
Hopefully having some old white dude encouraging her will make her smile.
I think something in my voice might have given away how important i think it is.

(25,920 posts)that a Trumper would have already been long registered, or would actually be indifferent to voting. And dare I suggest her name, Latisha is a bit of a clue?
