Michelle Obama joins nationwide voter registration effort
Associated PressWASHINGTON — Stepping back into the political fray, Michelle Obama is lending her star power to a new nationwide effort to register anyone who wants to vote in the November midterm elections. The nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization will work online and in person to help register anyone who wants to vote in the fall, when Democrats hope to ride a wave of anger among liberal voters against President Donald Trump’s policies on immigration, health care and other issues to take back control of the House and Senate. Mrs. Obama has long been one of the most popular draws among Democrats, but so far she has committed to just helping When We All Vote boost voter registration and participation in midterm elections. “I’m excited to be a part of @WhenWeAllVote to inspire and empower all eligible voters to make their voices heard.” Other notable names joining her in being the faces of the new effort are actor Tom Hanks, “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, singers Janelle Monae, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, and NBA point guard Chris Paul of the Houston Rockets.
