As your Facebook memories may have alerted you, it's exactly one year after the 2016 elections. It's also a day after off-year elections in a handful of states seemed to indicate a changing tide, maybe? It seems like the right time to reflect with Springfield, IL lawyer and election judge Craig Colbrook, who literally drives around his precinct ensuring voting rights are being upheld for everybody. Last year, these are the songs that accompanied him on that drive. We talk about 2016, 2017, and 2018 and beyond, and some damn good music provides the soundtrack.
Craig's Election Day 2016 includes:
1. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - American Girl
2. Rachel Platten - Fight Song
3. Hamilton - The Schuyler Sisters
4. Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)
5. Brooks & Dunn - Only in America
6. Bruce Springsteen - Long Walk Home
7. Bruce Springsteen - We Take Care of Our Own
8. 1776: Sit Down, John
9. Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins - Rise up with Fists!!
