Swish! A Slam Dunk for Democracy in 1988's New Hampshire Ballot Battle!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Dennis Brack, we are transported back to a chilly February day in 1988. Nestled amidst the snow-covered streets of Manchester, USA, stands a humble voting booth that witnessed an extraordinary moment in American history. As citizens flocked to exercise their democratic rights, little did they know that this unassuming booth would become the backdrop for a unique fusion of politics and sports. Picture this: as voters stepped into the booth to cast their ballots, just beyond its walls lay an unexpected surprise - a full-fledged basketball court complete with hoop! It seems like even democracy couldn't resist embracing the spirit of America's favorite game. Perhaps it was an ingenious attempt to keep voters entertained during long queues or simply a playful nod to New Hampshire's love affair with basketball. As political rivalries heated up on the campaign trail, so too did friendly competitions unfold on this unconventional court. Voters turned players dribbled past each other while discussing candidates' merits and passionately debated policies between jump shots. In those fleeting moments between casting votes and counting them, unity prevailed as strangers bonded over shared enthusiasm for both democracy and basketball. This remarkable photograph reminds us that even within serious civic duties lies room for fun and camaraderie. So let's take inspiration from these spirited voters who transformed their polling station into a hub of excitement – proving once again that when it comes to democracy, every vote counts
