1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Call It what It Is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Luddington,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio podcast.

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Jessica Capshaw and Call It crew.

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: Welcome to another short and sweet.

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: It is now the fall here on the East Coast,

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: which I'm sure I feel more than you do. But

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: the fall brings so many different things, so many of

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: them that I love, and.

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 4: This particular year, it brings.

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: The elections, all the presidential elections, not just any old election,

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: and I think that it's very important that we are

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: in conversation with our crew about.

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 4: What that means and what our.

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: What we have as options, what are responsible, what and

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: how we feel about elections, but most importantly expressing our

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: vote and being heard, because we have the best friar

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: in the whole world, and we hear from you all

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: the time, and we know how smart and kind and

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: empathetic and just opinionated you all are. And so now

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: it's time to get those opinions out, do your research

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: and cast your vote. I think that the first and

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: very most important part of voting is what Camilla.

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: Research.

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: You got to have your opinion on the things, and

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: I have to say that I well, first off, do

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: you remember your very first time voting?

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: You know, you don't shocking because there was one hundred

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: years ago. I mean it makes sense. Were you, as

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: a woman, a last vote?

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: It was right, it was right after they let us vote.

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: I cast my first vote. Yeah, you were first. There

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: wasn't even a camera to keep a record of it.

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: No, there's a painting somewhere.

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: I sat for so many hours for that.

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: I still feel very new to this. This is only

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: going to be the second election, I believe, second, maybe

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: third election that I have ever been able to vote for.

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: Oh I think second. I became a citizen back right

39
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: after Trump had taken office. So this is a little

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: while ago, and I'm still learning this process as.

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: An immigrant to this country.

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: And some of you, I know are just turning eighteen,

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: and this might be new for you too, and so

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: I'm still learning all these things. And so this is

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: as much for me and people like me as you, guys, Jessica,

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: if you do want to, because the ballot that we

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: are going to be sending in isn't just going to

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: be for the presidential.

49
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: Pick for yous, not just presidential and VP. There are

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: other things in play here. So the very very very

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: first step in this incredible adventure that, by the way,

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: we don't have to do, we get to do, is

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: going to vote dot org because you need to understand

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: what on record for you personally, where you're registered to vote,

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: under what name, making sure that you have the entire

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: list of things you have to have, which is definitely

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: a driversizense or proof of you know, identity. But it

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: can be very confusing. And I say this as someone

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: who thinks that they've got it all under control. I

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: feel very prepared for most things in my life, and

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: I have shown up to more than one place to

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: cast my vote and been told that I was meant

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: to be voting in a different place, or that my

64
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: address wasn't what was last recorded. And again, I mean

65
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: I totally it can take responsibility for being wrong, but

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: I really didn't think I was gonna be I thought

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: that I was prepared, so these things can happen. Please please,

68
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: please go to vote dot org to find out what

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: your status is and where you are registered to vote.

70
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: It's very very important, especially if you are someone who

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: votes on the day.

72
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the local ballot, right.

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: So the local ballot to me was confusing initially because

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that. The first time I was voting,

75
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: I was learning that you're not just voting for the president.

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: You are also voting for what your local community stands

77
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: on in their measures and yes and the candidates. And

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: if I had gone in blind, I would have had

79
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: to leave all of that blank.

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: Yep, but I want to have an opinion on those things.

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: So if you're like me and Jessica and you don't

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: want to show up winging it all the day.

83
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: Nope, vote And it's really better for everyone if you

84
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: don't wing it.

85
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: Until they don't, it's really let's not You can go

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: to vote for one one dot org slash ballot to

87
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: learn more about your local candidates.

88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: You can get the information that you need to make

89
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: the decision that you want to make.

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: And again, all about being heard.

91
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: This is the opportunity, which let's just talk about this

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: for a second because it might not be anyone else.

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: But I sometimes can feel really small when it comes

94
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: to government. I can feel like, what is my vote matter?

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Is anyone even counting it? How does this all work?

96
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: And I guess it's sort of a pessimistic way to

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: look at it. And I consider myself an optimist, but

98
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: sometimes I get a little worried or I think I

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: don't know it, gets kind of down on it, and

100
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: I think, what does it matter? And then thank God,

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by people who are just the deepest and

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: fiercest believers in democracy. And by the way, I love

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: my country so much and I care so much what

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: happens in it and to it. And this is what

105
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of, what these people remind me of. Then

106
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: that spend a lot more time in it and around it.

107
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: That absolutely our voices count. Every single vote counts. Lots

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: of people have been convinced that they don't. That's just

109
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: not true. Your vote counts so much and it's so

110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: important that you cast it. And again, this is not

111
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: about who you vote for. This is about showing up

112
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: to vote. And I think sometimes also it's important to say,

113
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, this is an opportunity where you're voting alone.

114
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Nobody sees your vote right. So again that research that

115
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: you do should likely be.

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: On your own.

117
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: You should figure out what is important to you and

118
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: what you believe on certain issues, and there's a ton

119
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: of information out there for you to be able to

120
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: make that decision. But you're not going in with your friends,

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: and you're not going in with your family. You're going

122
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: in by yourself. So what you do when you're casting

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: your vote, no one knows about. That's one of another

124
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: one of the most amazing things about America and how

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: this system was set up. This is not about you

126
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: and your friends. This is about you figuring out what

127
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: you want going into a place that is definitely like,

128
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: not to get cheesy, but it's a sacred place. It's

129
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: held anonymously and you know and well, I guess it's

130
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: not anonymously right because your record. But anyways, it's a

131
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: sacred place where you can go in and no one

132
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: will know what you did. And by the way, you

133
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: don't have to tell people who you vote for.

134
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: You don't.

135
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: That's your right to have on your own. You can

136
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: vote for whoever you want to, and you can come

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: out and say you voted for someone else.

138
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: Who cares, it's your vote? Make account.

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: Wow. I just I honestly I don't even know how

140
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: to how to follow on that, because I'm like, can

141
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: you run for president?

142
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: Vote for you?

143
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: Just on that? That was good?

144
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: Just get captured twenty I'll vote yes.

145
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: My, my, my, My slogan will be sneaky democracy.

146
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: You don't have to tell anyone who you vote for.

147
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: No, No, I really like that because I feel I

148
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: feel like people's families, friends. You know, sometimes it can't

149
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: you can't feel like the odd one out voting for

150
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: a certain person and the pressure to do it.

151
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: And I love that.

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: It is just for you. I do remember the first

153
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: time I got to vote. I felt so excited.

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: I felt like it was such a privilege. I like

155
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: literally got.

156
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: Like a rush on the day, took a selfie with

157
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: my little sticker, because not everybody gets that opportunity, and

158
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: as women, we didn't get that opportunity for a really,

159
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: really long time. Jessica and I were like looking up

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: the date before this and what was it nineteen twenty?

161
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: What was it? Well, first of all, someone thought it

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: was in eighteen hundreds, and I thought, no, I don't

163
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: think we've had it that long. But it actually was

164
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty.

165
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: Nineteen twenty, so it's literally only been a little over

166
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: one hundred years, which is insane. So but yeah, I

167
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: think that the experience of it for first timers like

168
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: me too, is just really exciting.

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: It's an honor and don't underestimate what you were just

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: talking about that little because if you care about social media,

171
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: if you care about being you know, in the know

172
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: and with it, you need a selfie with that sticker.

173
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: You can't take someone else's sticker you they give it,

174
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: they give one. Only you got to get that sticker,

175
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: and you got to show up. By the way, who's voting,

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Get that sticker, Take a selfie, Tag us, Tag your friends,

00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: know those lines. Listen, it's a privileged standing in those lines.

192
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: But those are some lines.

00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: I want to talk to our crew real quick.

199
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: In Alabama, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and West Virginia, you guys

200
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: are living in states where there is no early voting

201
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: option available and you have to have an eligible reason

202
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: to vote by mail.

203
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: So just you guys, like we said, go to vote

204
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: dot org.

205
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: Check out where you're living, check out check out what

206
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: the rules are for your state.

207
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: So many rules I know you, and this one I

208
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: got to tell you. You cannot fudge this. This is

209
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: a very rule centric operation, which, by the way, is

210
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: worth pointing out because some people worry about that challenge

211
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: that you know that the rules are being upheld. Yes,

212
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: the rules are being upheld. This is America, one of

213
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: the greatest nations in the world, and we have a

214
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: system for a reason. So I'm going to go through

215
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: really quickly again how to vote. You're going to check

216
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: your registration. You're going to register to vote. It takes

217
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: it takes left to two minutes, yep, two minutes. With trust,

218
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you can vote by mail except for in the states

219
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: that Camilla just mentioned. You can request an absentee ballot.

220
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: Then you need to see what's on your ballot. Then

221
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: that refers back to what we were saying, which is

222
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: your local ballot. If you need help researching that, you

223
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: can go too.

224
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: You can go to vote or one one dot org

Speaker 1: And when in doubt, visit vote dot org for more help.

227
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: We all need help because this is a really really

228
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: important right that we have. And again I'm just gonna

229
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: point it out, like the nerd I am, we do

230
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: not have to vote. We get to vote, So get

231
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: your butt out there and vote.

232
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm also going to say, I like, I like my

233
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: kids seeing me vote. Oh gosh, yes, yeah, I think

234
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: that's I think it's nice for Haydes and Haydes and

235
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: Lucas to see mommy and daddy be out there voting.

236
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really important. By the way, it's also very cool.

237
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean again, sometimes there's a little bit of a

238
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's like cool to not care, especially for

239
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: the younger set. Sorry, I a'm singling you out, but

240
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: like you know, sometimes it's like I don't care.

241
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 4: That's okay, it'll all work out. My vote it doesn't count.

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 4: It's only it's cool to not care.

243
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Guess what, it's so much cooler to care. And when

244
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: some things that are being decided will affect you in

245
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: a negative way, you should really care.

246
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 4: So get on out there. Okay.

247
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: So also, if for some reason you've registered for an

248
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: absentee ballot and you are not able to do that,

249
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: you can still go to the polls and vote. So,

250
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: by the way, that's happened to me before, it really

251
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: did and I was living in California and I showed

252
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: up at my place and I also, okay, another thing

253
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: to mention. I'm sorry I have to say this, but

254
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I do you know, all of these wonderful people that

255
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: are at the polling places are volunteers and they show

256
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: up to again be a part of this incredible process

257
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: and that and for that, I'm very thankful that being said,

258
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: they're showing up on the day. They don't always know

259
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: every single thing. I've been in places where people were

260
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: volunteering and they maybe didn't have all the information or

261
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: they said, oh no, you can't vote here, you got

262
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: to go vote over there. Just keep asking questions, keep

263
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: asking for the supervisor, keep asking for If you're not

264
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: getting the answer you want or someone's telling you that

265
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: you cannot vote, you just keep on pressing ahead. You

266
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: ask for supervisors, you ask for whoever's in charge, and

267
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: you make sure that you do not leave without voting.

268
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 3: This has happened to me, by the way. I went

269
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: to last time I voted.

270
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 2: I went to a polling place that said that they

271
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: did not have me on a record to vote there,

272
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: and then eventually, after standing my ground and talking to

273
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: numerous people, they found my information.

274
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: So these things happen on the day. They're nobody's fault.

275
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, a little bit of a chaotic

276
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 2: day sometimes and there's so many people coming through.

277
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 4: But yes, I.

278
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: Agree with Jess, stay stay in line, stay in line

279
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: line if you're experiencing some serious problems on the day.

280
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Yes, if you are experiencing the aforementioned shenanigans, if someone's

281
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: telling you that you're in the wrong place or you

282
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: need to go over here, or it's a different.

283
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: Day or whatever.

284
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: So Camilla, there's this other thing where voter suppression is real,

285
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: which is again why you need to stand your ground

286
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: and ask a lot of questions and be super prepared.

287
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: But if in fact you feel as though someone or

288
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: a group of people is trying to suppress your vote,

289
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: then you also have options to report that and get help.

290
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: If that happens.

291
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: Jessica, you can call eight stick six our vote. That's

292
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,920

00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: are problems, let's say.

295

Speaker 1: Yeah, And that can look a bunch of different ways,

296
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: but listen, at the end of the day, no one

297
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: can fault you for asking questions. So make sure, triple
