Cynthia Hunter is trying to pump up the vote at Mount Tabor Missionary Baptist Church. It is, coincidentally, the South Seminole Heights’ woman’s home church.
But today, it’s her place of business. And she’s got her logistics down pat.
She has a chair to sit on right in front of Cypress Avenue. She has her headphones, playing Steve Harvey on 95.7FM, as she waves to passing cars and pumps her Michael Scionti for state representative sign. She has her portable TV that will plug into her car to check out Election Day news come 6 p.m. She’s got lunch and a soda.
“I’ve been praying the whole time, ‘Lord, let the clouds move over,” says Hunter, 40, whose home happens to be Mount Tabor, which today happens to be precincts 171 and 173.
That’s logistically helpful, too: “I already knew where the rest room was.”
