An enthusiastic DJ blared out pop tracks Tuesday, urging voters to bop along with dancers in multi-colored sequined shorts -- one small effort outside an Arizona polling station to soothe Election Day nerves running high across the United States.

"I definitely think there's a lot of anxiety around the election," said Elyssa Bustamante, who was producing the event in the key swing state's largest city, Phoenix, along with organization Joy to the Polls.
