Rasheen Aldridge, 5th Ward Democratic committeeman in St. Louis and a Ferguson protestor who became the Ferguson Commission’s youngest member, voted in the November 6 midterm election at about 6:30 a.m.
Polls opened at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Anyone in line to vote by 7 p.m. must be allowed to vote.
“I was number 44 at Patrick Henry Elementary School,” Aldridge said. “The line was about a 15 minute wait. And the first hour was a very nice turnout so far.”
He said there were surprisingly few political signs at a polling site in a Democratic stronghold for a crucial midterm election with a Democratic U.S. Senate seat at stake.
Aldridge endorsed Amendment 1 on the ballot to clean up Missouri politics to The American and was one of the supporters who greeted U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill in her zero tour campaign tour of North St. Louis last week.
