When a stranger runs up for a hug outside a polling location, it's pretty safe to say you can count on that vote, right?
My dad was 36 when Pakistan banned his right to vote due to his faith
Today he voted for his 36-yr-old son for VA Senate
My wife & I never had the right to vote in Pakistan due to our faith
Today we both voted for me for VA Senate
This is the America I believe in
