Two months ago, Chance the Rapper encouraged his fans to “Stay woke and vote” by offering them the option to register to vote during his Magnificent World world tour stops; now, in the wake of the presidential election, it looks like Chicago’s beloved MC and President Obama’s favorite rapper is still putting his money where his mouth is.
Following a free concert on Monday in downtown Chicago, Chance led a massive parade of voters to a polling place, where voters could participate in early voting.
ABC 7 reported that the pre-election voting in Cook County, where Chicago is located, has far surpassed records set in both 2008 and 2012 with more than 438,212 ballots cast as of Monday night.
