Photos from an Election Day party
On Election Day, Root the Power hosted a "vote mob" with music, swag, and tacos to engage Wichita voters.
On Wednesday morning, Kansas arts leaders were already chattering about what a more balanced state House might mean for the arts.
But before a single race was called, Wichita voters partied at the polls on Tuesday. Root the Power, a program of Destination Innovation, hosted a "vote mob" at the Urban League at Grove and 9th Streets. The youth-led organization handed out free T-shirts, and voters picked up free taco dinners and used the sidewalk as a dance floor.
