The Colin McEnroe Show

‘Citizen Observers’ share their voting stories from around the state

On Election Day we do a show where we ask people across Connecticut to do a simple thing: Go vote in your town before 1 p.m. Then call us between 1 and 2 p.m. and tell us how it felt, what you saw, whom you spoke to. Say whatever you want to say about the experience of voting.

This hour we hear from Citizen Observers about their experiences at the polls.

GUESTS: 

  • Lara Herscovitch: Singer-songwriter-poet, performer, advocate, former CT State Troubadour, and children’s book author
  • Logan Tomlinson: Student at the University of New Hampshire
  • Kate Rushin: Poet, writer, and educator
