Voters get cheers, entertainment at the polls

CHARLOTTE — Voters may have experienced more than just standing in line to vote on Election Day at some polling places.

The polling location at the former Collinswood Language Academy on Applegate Road in south Charlotte had enthusiastic poll workers who clapped and cheered for first-time voters.

Voters there got to listen to some music earlier.

They were part of DJ at the Polls, a national effort where thousands of DJs played at various polling locations on Election Day to celebrate democracy.
