It has been well-advertised how critical this year’s midterm election is to the future of this nation. With so much turmoil out there, voting is crucial.
Nevada is an important swing state where a Senate seat as well as the governorship and several House seats are up for grabs. Yesterday, the Las Vegas Aces’ Carolyn Swords joined former First Lady Michelle Obama and a host of other notables to encourage people to head to the polls and vote.
Hey Fans! Today's game day – I'm joining @WhenWeAllVote and @MichelleObama here in Las Vegas to get us fired up to vote in November!
Watch it live tonight at 5pm PT / 8pm ET: https://t.co/99RJ0FYNOh pic.twitter.com/LbwdjjGbKK

Swords, Obama, and other notable figures – including Kelly McCreary of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and Loni Love – appeared at Chaparral High School on behalf of When We All Vote, a non-profit chaired by the former First Lady.
Swords’ Aces teammate, A’ja Wilson, also has encouraged everyone to get to the polls and posted this on her Twitter feed two days to competing in her first game at the FIBA World Cup.
