YOUNG VOICES

Power Outage at L.A. Poll
by Tamika Thompson


 

Rain showers caused at least three polling locations to lose power on the morning of the November 4th election. I visited one South Los Angeles polling site where the power outage forced voters to cast paper-only ballots at voting booths that were moved outside.

I found that a power outage, early morning showers and a line wrapped around the corner wouldn't stop most voters from waiting to vote in this historic election.
