DETROIT — Thousands of people crowded into the Detroit Renaissance High School gymnasium Saturday to hear former President Barack Obama and other Democratic politicians speak at a rally to encourage Michigan voters to get out and vote on Election Day.
Obama spoke last, after a dozen other Democratic politicians took the stage to encourage attendees to vote. The nation's 44th president asked that once people vote themselves or make a plan to vote, they help their friends and family do so as well.
"If you are here, you are likely to vote," Obama said.
