Souls to the Polls brings out 200+ churchgoers for early voting
FOX 26's Gabby Hart talks to churchgoers out voting as a part of 'souls to the polls', a non-partisan initiative that encourages church members to go out and vote after church service.'Souls to the Polls' is about getting local churchgoers to head to go vote right after service.
"We've had so many people that came in and voted today," Said Janice Weaver, who helped organize Souls to the Polls. It's a non-partisan initiative to encourage church members to take part in elections, and they brought more than 200 people out for early voting on Sunday."Absolutely amazing to be able to see our worship leaders along with their congregants come out and vote; strictly non-partisan, not telling anyone who to vote for, but just to get them here to vote," Weaver explained.
Souls to the Polls isn't something new. In fact, it's been a church tradition in Houston for decades.
