MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Members of a non-partisan group from areas around Georgia made their way to the board of elections on Pio Nono to promote voting in a different way.
Tuesday, Election Defenders set up a DJ, played music, and danced to bring the “Joy to the Polls” initiative. The group encourages people to vote while having fun.
Lead producer Ricardo Spicer calls 2020 “a rough year” with the pandemic and politics. He says the group wanted to get people in a good mood while they exercised their right to vote.
“Everything we do in the social space has a social contract and if we truly want to love our brother and love your neighbor, and support our neighbor,” Spicer said. “Voting helps ensure that these processes keep us all in a peaceful way and we can still abide by that social contract.”

Despite the harrowing, end-of-days feeling that often surrounded the 2020 presidential election â what felt to many, and to one candidate in particular, as a battle for the very soul of the United States â New York City exploded with music. On a Manhattan street corner during Election Day, the singer Patti Smith apologized to a gathering crowd; sheâd need to remove her mask to deliver a stripped-down performance of her song âPeople Have the Powerâ with the guitarist Lenny Kaye. Uptown, outside the Apollo Theater where Harlem residents arrived to cast their votes, the rapper Busta Rhymes zipped through a rowdy, two-song set in his characteristically high-speed flow.
