For the first times in their lives, Christyn Williams and Paige Bueckers can vote in a presidential election. At Big East Media Day on Thursday, they both shared how they feel connected to the cause of voting, having already sent in their absentee ballots.
For Williams, she wanted to continue a legacy that her grandmother built.
“My grandmother went doorstep to doorstep to try to get people to vote back in the day,” Williams said. “So, I feel like it’s my duty to vote. That’s very important to me.”
As for Bueckers, she has been using her sizable social media platform to encourage her followers to vote.
