“We know it is an understatement to say there’s been an uptick in anxiety over the past few weeks and we have no doubt November 3 will be a day with a lot of it,” the duo said in a statement. “We want to provide a place where people can watch something that’s election-related but purely entertaining instead of stressful.”
The “Vote-a-Thon” has partnered with #SingingOnQueue, a movement to entertain voters while they wait in queues. Conceived by Ruthie Fierberg, performers across the country visit local poll sites throughout the day and sing a live set. “Vote-a-Thon” will broadcast select performances.
