Chance The Rapper Leads Massive Crowd To Early Voting Site In Chicago: Watch
Throughout the last few months, Chance the Rapper has played a pivotal role in campaigning for Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton. He’s offered voter registration at every show on his Magnificent Coloring World Tour and recently appeared in an ad for the presidential hopeful.
But on Monday night (November 7), Chance took things a step further. After hosting a free “Parade to the Polls” concert in his native Chicago, the MC led a massive crowd of fans to an early voting station in the Loop, the city’s downtown center.
According to CNN, officials have revealed that early voting numbers are at a 24 percent increase in Cook County, Illinois from the 2008 election, which is a record high.
Watch the ABC 7 Chicago‘s account of the march, as well as fan-filmed footage of the event below.
