Three longtime political volunteers in Monroe County, Georgia, canvass for the Democrats, after a rah-rah speech by Tim Walz, Charles Bethea writes.
Walz had just given the phone bankers a rah-rah speech, in person. Now he was surprising their callees. “I sat up straight in bed,” Smith recalled. “He said, ‘Bernice, this is Tim Walz.’ I couldn’t hardly talk. He said, ‘What are y’all doing in Forsyth?’ I finally said we’re doing all we can until Election Day.” Then Smith called everyone she knew. Smith knows a lot of people in Forsyth, where she’s lived for eight decades. As a child, she picked cotton.
“I know you!” Pitts told them. “Both of y’all are registered to vote? You know we’re doing early voting.” “When is it?” the woman said. “It started Tuesday,” Smith said. “Go tomorrow, please. We need every vote we can get.” “I’m trying to still look into it,” the woman said, carefully. “I’m trying to see.” “See what, baby?” Pitts said. “What you need to see?” “Kamala,” Smith said. “Kamala.” “She’s gonna do right by us, honey,” Stuart added. “Yes, Ma’am,” the woman replied.
