Busk The Ballot

09/12/2024

I haven't been on Facebook for nearly a decade. I'm only back for one reason and that's to try and reach more people to ask them to sign this petition.

I hope you'll sign and would appreciate it greatly.

We reached 100 signatures recently which isn't a huge number but our success rate is currently one signature for every 10 views. This greatly exceeds the average which is one signature per 25 views. I take this as sign that there's support for this effort but it needs a much broader audience.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

We are thrilled to see all of this wonderful entertainment at polling locations! Positive energy...

The festivities took place during the inaugural “Vote Early Day,” a national effort to highlight voting options with the Nov. 3 election just 10 days away.

Really excited about this wonderful story by the folks at WUSA 9 in Washington DC. We continue to get more buskers signing up every day and hope to have most states covered by Election Day.

Please share with you friends and help us get buskers out to all the polling locations with long lines.

If you are in Georgia in Gwinnett County and trying to vote today you likely have a very long wait time. Look at what people need to endure to vote!

This is why we started this effort...to help entertain people while they wait to cast their ballots.

Looking ahead to next week, early in-person voting starts in Texas, Georgia, Maine, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada. You can sign-up to busk or request a busker for these states or any state at our website.

Have a great weekend and please share this with your friends
