On the recordFebruary 10, 2016
We talked to a lot of innovative young people in Dallas. If I have learned anything about young people--and I remember being up in Manhattan with Congressman Israel and Congresswoman Grace Meng. We were at a district co-workspace. The complaint we often heard there was just about how darn hard it is to get to the polls and why is it on a Tuesday. Why is it so inconvenient. I want to have Delegate Plaskett speak to us on voting rights as well, but in a moment I'm going to have Steve Israel talk to us about weekend elections because people on Twitter right now are asking: Why can't we have votes on the weekend? Delegate Plaskett, can you talk to us a little bit just about voting rights with respect to the Virgin Islands, but also what you are hearing among young people.
