2022/10/31

Today we bring you the remarkably inventive -- and remarkably prescient -- story from author George S. Corey. Waiting for Our Vote is presented as a play -- yes, an actual play -- in two acts. It is, of course, a satiric, and I think ultimately deeply moving, reflection on voting rights, set on Election Day, 2022, and features Presidents Lincoln and Biden, Vice President Harris, and a cameo by none other than Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, repping her amazing voting rights
