Villages and Sumter County Democrats contnued showing their enthusiasm for national, state and local candidates by turning out today for a mammoth golf cart and car caravan to drop off their completed Vote By Mail ballots at the Supervisor of Elections office.
How large was it? It took two hours for the vehicles to drop their ballots, a line estimated between 500 and 1,000. Voters were greeted by U.S. Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Congressman Maxwell Frost, and Congressional candidate Barbie Harden-Hall. The three also briefly spoke to the crowd that flooded the Eisenhower Recreation Center parking lot to prepare for the caravan.
Videos posted and shared on social media already have exceeded several million views.
The event was a visual feast everywhere you looked and the vibe was pure joy.
What a difference a day makes, especially when that day included our huge golf cart and car caravan. As the graphic shows, the change in Democratic Vote-By-Mail ballots from Monday morning to Monday evening was 1,083. The addition of Tuesday morning's count, which could include mailed in ballots received by the Supervisor of Elections, brought the total change over about 24 hours to 1,733.
Thank you, everybody. Let's keep getting out the vote!
