Their Story:

Ahkeba (Uh-kee-buh) Green stood in a long line in June 2020 primary; 3-4 hours when the machines went down. She saw older people waiting in long lines. Left and came back later with her wagon of water, still had to wait two hours to vote. Voted early in person for general. Does not use dropboxes. Would be good for media. Emailed 3/3 to ask about site
