Guyanese-Americans urged to vote in US elections

Dear Editor,

Today Tuesday, November 8, is Election Day in America. Guyanese Americans are a very small group in terms of overall percentage of voters but constitute an important chunk of voters that are enough to tilt the balance in close races, providing they come out to vote.  People are hurting financially, and thus the economy voters would influence that vote. The outcome hinges on turnout in the swing states, where several thousands of Guyanese are present. There is a lot of enthusiasm among Guyanese voters, and many actually voted early all over the country while others say they will vote today. Several Guyanese have been working at poll stations over the last two weeks for early voting and several will be on duty on November 8 at schools and senior centres.

Sincerely,

Vishnu Bisram
