“Early bird catches the worm”.
Obama became the first sitting president to cast an early ballot in person when he voted in Chicago’s south side on Thursday, NBC Chicago reported.
When he arrived at Dr. Martin Luther King Community College to vote, he was asked to present is photo ID in order to receive a ballot. According to NBC, the president handed over his Illinois driver’s license.
The president called the whole process “convenient” and stressed the importance of early voting.
“It means you don’t have to figure out whether you need to take time off work, figure out how to pick up the kids and still cast your ballot. If something happens on Election Day, you will already have taken care of it. If it’s bad weather you won’t get wet, or in Chicago, snowy.”
