This literally gave me goosebumps! I am so proud of every one of them….,and I thank them all. 🩵💙🦋💙🩵

Gives me hope...real hope. I am very proud of them.

Outrageous that they had to do this, but Bravo!

👏👏👏

Sucks that they had to do that but it’s still inspiring

So proud of these kids!!!!❤️❤️❤️

This is a stain on our nation. Someday - maybe even soon - we will see these as no different from the black & white footage from Selma, from the Pettis Bridge, and we will feel the shame that comes from letting all of them down.

"If we're all brave, no one has to be a hero"

Legends.

Turn up the volume!

WE SHALL OVERCOME! So SO proud of you guys! And so ashamed of that Board of Elections.

💪💪🏾

Our young people are leading the way! Many reasons for hope. Zero reasons for complacency.

My how the right stops at nothing in its self rightious act of suppressing votes in the US.... All the more reason to vote them out!

Wheres the good cops?

Hey

Very moving to see. Thank you.

Amazing.

What a beautiful sight to see! The GOP is going regret allowing a racist POS be the leader of their party

Political parties that can only win elections by disenfranchising selected groups of voters, like students, PoCs, women and anyone living in a Blue-voting district, are morally & ethically bankrupt and don't deserve your vote. MAGA GOP is ~35% of the voters. They should not be in power.

Fuck they shouldn't have to do this.

They should not have to do this, but I have to say, it gives me hope. 🥹🙏 Voted early today in Ohio and took 2 along. 😊

I live in this area, so very proud of these students. This is so awesome!!

Followed them for this.

This is what democracy is about, and what the republicans are trying to stifle!!

good.. WE NEED MORE

Thank you students! You deserve better than this and your vote will help obtain it!

Bet you there are not many rape-pedo-KKKans marching in that group!

Good. Take your power. Don’t ask for it Cause the truth is it will never be freely given.

Afuckingmazing and a shame at the same time.

Thank you all for standing up for us all. What a disgusting display of unconstitutional skulduggery on the part of the MAGA/GOP. They will not prevail. Thank you.

They can make it hard, but they can't stop you from voting. Never let them win.

There's no point in mail in voting here. I live a 5 minute walk away from my polling station. It's the area's elementary school and it's for municipal provincial and federal

What was the council’s rationale?

I'm surprised this many people vote locally to their school. When I was in college, I voted by absentee ballot in my home ward. Also, the school couldn't provide buses?

That’s awesome!

I agree that it shouldn’t be that hard, etc., but it IS a pretty cool social event-experience that will be remembered. Kudos to them.

Now this is meaningful!

This is fucking AMAZING! Republicans should be terrified.

Be vigilant too. Check your vote has been recorded....and check it again later on, if possible. I wouldn't put anything beyond Trump & the despicable desperate Republicans.

If they aren't, raze mango lardo to the ground and work your way north via every gop house. Leave nothing but ash in your wake

Here's some more info I found online. According to Politifact, the claim that the polling place was removed is misleading. politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Yeah, when the argument breaks down to "it wasn't removed, they just didn't keep it" you're off on a tangent from the point. They had to physically go off a campus to vote, and it appears to have motivated them. Go, kids!

The polling place wasn't really "removed". politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Wow. Just...wow.

Wow and holy shit. The Trump enabling Board of Elections help rig the vote but the students give them the finger, say not so fast, and vote despite them. Kudos to them. F*uck trump.

When Voter Suppression FAILS.

Love it

Love this 🙌.

Many "local" voting places were terminated a couple of years ago, so we now request mail ballots and drop the completed ones in the drop box that goes directly inside the Elections Office. We grab an "I Voted" sticker and then go to breakfast!

The kids are alright!

👏👏👏 Vote those bastards OUT!

#VoteEarly #NoKings

Can’t like this one enough !!! MARCH ON!

The YOUTH .. good Lord I need to read before it goes for good 😖

and they most likely won’t vote for the party created this voting obstacle course. I’m glad they are determined!

Proud of all you young Americans. Thank you for the example you have set.

Way to keep democracy moving👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Republicans HATE democracy

Thank you to the students who are marching to vote. Awful they have to march to vote. Voting should not be hard

Beautiful. I love my folks.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” ― John Lewis

Amazing!!

Bravo!! 👏 👏 👏 Angry-voting will help ⬆️ the numbers for the humiliation vote—in which pedo-supporting Republikkkans get absolutely trounced.

This is what happens when you piss people off by removing their polling locations. You try to “mess with the game”, they will teach you the rules!! Well done young people, well done!!👏🏻👏🏻

Voter suppression comes in many forms.. we need to make sure we elect true "public servants", and vote out the slimy, greedy pos's....

Nothing says "democracy in action" quite like a board of elections trying to uninstall the voters. Moving the goalposts is a classic bug, but the students are clearly running a superior update.

I love that these kids did this

What awesome sights and sounds! May God Bless them all.

Don't sleep on Greensboro, y'all. The money there keeps trying to put people down, but they have a long history of good trouble.

This makes me so proud of these young people, and yet at the same time immensely sad and ashamed. They deserve better

I hate that they had to, but I'm so proud to see this enthusiastic march for their rights!

Some students had to wait in line for 3 hours! "They weren't ready."

the circumstances that forced these brave people into the street make me sick to my stomach

In America, voting rules are managed by individual states and counties, so Republican areas delibe make voting difficult because low voter turnout advantages them.

In Oregon you're automatically registered to vote at the DMV when you get a driver's license and are over 18.

Your second question is answered by your first question.

It's not meddeling on my end. I'm chronic sick and have a disabled device, I would manage. But many don't. And deserve that right to vote just as much. A wait for three hours can messup their meds schedual. Just a tip from a labor union volunteer:) I know what that line would do to me w/o device.

Bravo! If this happens across the continent for just midterms, just imagine your might for General Elections. If students do organizing; make sure to check, on actual voting day, that elderly & disabled have a seat. They can't do a three hour waiting line. Their legs can't hold on that long.

They closed another polling place next to another HBCU, Fayetteville State, a few years ago. I helped organize a Souls to the Polls event when I was on faculty there. Good for the students, but it obviously shouldn’t be this difficult.

Sickening. And they wrap themselves in the American flag and pretend to be patriots.

Thank you for all those patriots who don’t let it stop them.

Hats off to the students.

We used to have to stand in line, too. Here in Oregon we now vote by mail and there are no more lines to stand in. Fill out the ballot at your convenience and drop it off from your vehicle into the conveniently located ballot drop box. Long lines are to depress turnout and make it a chore to vote.

We must all vote even for Dog Catcher! For 30 years the GOP in stealth prepared for not a GOP POTUS but a Fuhrer Emperor.. School Board All White & Nazis. State Election Secretaries.JEB Bush had his #KatieKatieKatie To thief FL.for GWB. 6/15 Trump, Putin GOP Ready! McConnell STOP Obama's SCOTUS

Nice job young people!

Ohh god, I’m crying! Joy & bitterness. Their beautiful young voices and coordination while marching to/from voting — at once heartbreaking and a blast of hope! My sons were in marching band in high school; I chaperoned in every contest. It is *very hard* to get a large number of kids to do this!

Good luck with that voter suppression thing, idiots! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

This is absolutely shameful to take a polling place away from students. They a absolute COWARDS.

That's patriotism in the face of Naziism.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Powerful

Democracy in action! Good for them! Grow some balls America!!!

Oh, absolutely. They Barbara Streisand'd it. Something people feel has no urgancy gets procrastinated on or slips their mind while something needing organizers and a gd march for mobilizes people.

Desparate situations require moronic actions in the GOP.

A. Mazing.

👏 Bravo!!!

I'm proud of all of you

No one could rent a few buses?

F*ck yeah…but also, have we not put Black Americans through enough sh*t???!!!

Jim Crow GOP.

I don't know if this makes sense, but I went to the university's giving website and made a gift in honor of the students marching to vote.

Because they thought they still had the Hispanic vote tied up when they gerrymandered. It’s like they thought throwing 70,000 people into concentration camps and violating human rights wouldn’t matter.

You'd think by now they'd know that putting up roadblocks does not stop Black people. We don't give up easily. Black folks are the ultimate survivalists- 😏 where there's a will, there's a way.

This is inspiring. They shouldn't have to do this, but they're an example to the nation of what it means to defend freedom.

Man, that's badass

Voting shouldn't be harder to do. End of story.

These young ppl give me so much hope. Way to go!

They advance a glorious North Carolina A&T tradition.

VOOOOOOOOOTE!!!!

Telling college students they can't do something is a brilliant strategy
