The aromas of barbecue, the bottles of beverages and football fans dressed in red and black or black and gold made their way toward Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a game between the New Orleans Saints versus the Atlanta Falcons. However, at a nearby tailgate, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, D-Georgia, sought to foster a moment of unity before the game.“We may be rivals today, but come November 5th, we will be on the same team,” Williams said. Williams was joined by actor and activist Anthony Anderson as they co-hosted a get out the vote rally before Sunday’s NFL contest. “We want to keep this a blue state, right,” explains Anderson. “I mean, that’s what we’re here to do. It’s important to get out and make a plan to vote, you know? To make sure that people check their voter registration.”Each reputable survey says Georgia is a dead heat heading into October. Vice President Kamala Harris trails former President Donald J. Trump by one or two points in various polls. Recently, the Georgia State Election Board approved a proposal which mandates poll workers to count paper ballots by hand. According to a recent CBS News poll, four in 10 Trump voters prefer challenges to Georgia’s 2024 results if Harris wins the Peach State.Anderson doubled down on the idea that Georgians must double-check their voter registration statuses and vote early. “Because on October 7, because if they’re not registered to vote, their vote doesn’t count. So, I’m just out here to bring awareness to that. And to make sure that people have a plan. I want to make sure people come out, vote early and vote in person.”The final day to register to vote in the 2024 Presidential Election in Georgia is Monday, October 7th. Early voting in Georgia begins on October 15. The post Anthony Anderson joins Nikema Williams during a get-out-the-vote event before Saints vs Falcons game appeared first on The Atlanta Voice.
