As Election Day Nears, Thoughts From A First-Time Voter And An Update On Early Voting
A week from now, voting in the 2020 election will come to an end.
Due to the pandemic-related surge in early voting and mail-in ballots, it’s been more like election season.
Election coverage has a familiar ring to it. But this year, WUSF tried something different. We wanted to put the voters at the center of our election stories.
To do that, we teamed up with our colleagues at WMFE in Orlando and a national project called America Amplified. Here, we meet a voter we connected with earlier this year.
Dwayne-ron Sharpe is a student at St. Petersburg College and he grew up in Jamaica. He recently became an American citizen, so this is his first election.
In the second half of the show, host Bradley George talks with WUSF political reporter Steve Newborn to learn about how early voting is going.
