Joshua Gingrich: This is the third election Amari Robinson, a 27-year-old bus driver, has voted in. Despite feeling good about his vote today at Elmcrest Children’s Center, he said he’s concerned about the voting system.
Robinson: “Sometimes it’s like a 50-50 thing. It’s like sometimes it’s actually going to be counted and sometimes I feel like it’s still rigged a little bit.”
Gingrich: Robinson said he wasn’t going to vote today because of his concerns, but his family made him go cast a ballot. He said that he’s happy he’s done his civic duty.
Robinson: “I feel like at least I did my part, you know. I tried, put my one little vote. It’s not going to be that much of a difference.”
At the end of the day, Robinson’s glad he got his little sticker. For NCC News, I’m Joshua Gingrich.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC NEWS) — Amari Robinson wasn’t planning on voting today.
He was concerned about voter suppression, and worried that his vote might not get counted.
“Sometimes it’s like a 50-50 thing. It’s like sometimes it’s actually going to be counted and sometimes I feel like it’s still a little rigged,” he said.
But Robinson’s family made him come out to Elmcrest Children’s Center and cast a ballot. While reluctant at first, he said he was glad he did his civic duty.
“I feel like at least I did my part, you know,” he said. “I tried, put my one little vote. It’s not going to make that much of difference, but you never know.”
