This article is the reason, there is a Super in Super Mrs. C. Its the same reason, Stacey Abrams is one one of my Super-heroes too. When Stacy Abrams made voter registration cool, she made us, street-walkers, job a whole lot easier. And believe you me, registering voters is hard work...
Over the last 50 years, I can't begin to tell you how many times... I've answered these questions while registering voters... Or how hot cold, or windy it can get when working a voter registration booth at county fairs, street fairs, parks, concerts etc. and so on... Or how many miles I've walked down blistering hot blacktop streets in cities and long dirt and gravel country roads to knock on doors and register voters out in the country... Or how many hours I've spent sitting in strangers homes who needed someone to listen to them before they registered to vote... Or the time I've spent organizing get out the vote events to try and reach young voters... Or driven people to the polls, waited for them to vote, then drove them home... and on and on and on.
No one pays us to do this work and very few people even say thank you. But as the years pass, you discover that people you've registered to vote have come to see you as their go-to-person on voting. To walk through the grocery store on election day and see people beam with pride as they flash their "I voted" stickers at you, feels really good. Guess who these people go to when they want help understanding ballot measures and candidates running for office?
If I were queen for a day, every birth certificate filed in this country would automatically register that infant to vote on their 18th birthday.
That's the long way of saying, thank you Super Mrs. C. :)
