Cleveland, Ohio: ‘Souls to the Polls’ campaign brings big turnout for early voting
CLEVELAND - The rain didn't stop early voters who came out in droves to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. The large Sunday turnout was due largely in part to the "Souls to the Polls" campaign.
"This is democracy in action," said Blaine Griffin, the vice chair of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party. "This is America. This is what makes it great."
Thirty buses from area churches drove members to the polls in an effort to make sure everyone who wanted to vote could despite transportation issues.
"Listen, I don't care if you don't have transportation all you have to do is call a church. Call one of us and will be glad to bring you because it's so important for us to vote," said Reverend E. Theophilus Caviness of The Greater Ayssinia Baptist Church.
