From the Colorado for Obama blog:

We are now halfway through Election Day, and across Colorado supporters are voting and helping others get out to vote.

There is a lively buzz filling the staging location in Aurora, where dozens of volunteers are making phone calls to remind folks to vote. Other volunteers are stopping by between canvass shifts.

Ginger the staging location director told me about what today means to her.

She said:

We’ve been practicing today for the past two weeks, and we have this down to a fine tuned machine. Barack has elevated this whole area, and empowered this community. I’m inspired by the passion and the people who walk in here step by step. Today I would say we had at least fifty brand new people we’ve never seen before.  I am so proud to be a part of this.

Have you voted already? Share your voting story with us and then come help get others out to vote. If you haven’t voted, there are only five hours left until polls close. Find your polling location .
