As Election Day approaches, many are out encouraging voters to get to the polls, including one local family who has reached 20,000 voters. The Deloach family has been out talking to Hamilton County voters ahead of Election Day, not just encouraging them to vote, but asking them to encourage friends and family to vote too. That’s how the family has reached so many voters in just a 25 day period.
“Your mother, I’m assuming, is probably the most persuasive person in your life, than some person who texts you or calls you,”Prentiss Haney, the Co-Executive Director of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative said. Ebony Deloach is the one who got the whole family involved in get out the vote efforts. She’s been helping people to register to vote since the 90s when it was her job.
