Trae Young Buys Lunch for Election Poll Workers at State Farm Arena

While the nation has its eyes on Georgia as poll workers continue to count the remaining pivotal votes for the 2020 election, Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young wanted to send those at State Farm Arena a big 'thank you.'

The 22-year-old bought them lunch from Jason's Deli. Inside his note to the Fulton County poll workers at his team's home arena, Young wrote, "Thanks for all you do."

Young posted a photo on his Twitter, thanking them and adding about how the poll workers are "a valuable player in our democracy."

A Fulton County spokesperson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Young bought boxed lunches for about 50 workers counting provisional ballots.
