If you have time to stand in line for a chicken sandwich, you have time to register to vote. That’s the thinking behind David Ledbetter’s get out the vote effort.
The 17-year-old high school senior from North Carolina hit up his local Popeyes on Saturday to encourage the captive customers to get prepared for an upcoming school board election in November.
“I decided to register people to vote after I saw there was a lack of young people politically involved,” said Ledbetter. WSOC-TV reports he was able to sign up 16 people.
As for who he’d stand behind in the chicken sandwiches war, Ledbetter is team Louisana Fresh, telling the station, “The Popeyes sandwich is better. I’m sorry.”
