A record-breaking 160 million Americans voted in the 2020 presidential election, despite the Covid-19 pandemic’s continued spread across the country.
The US broke voting records in a pandemic
This is how it felt to vote in 2020.
Valerie Lapinski was the managing producer of Vox video. She previously headed video at Guardian US and has worked as a producer for Fast Company, Time, and WNYC Radio.
Voters across the country talked to Vox about their motivations to vote in this high-stakes election despite the challenges: waits in hours-long lines, navigating misinformation on social media, safety at the polls, and their decisions whether to vote early, to vote on Election Day, to mail in or drop off their ballots.
Watch the video above to see what it was like to vote this year in the US.
