Former President Obama made Facetime calls to voters as they stood in line to cast their ballots in this year's elections.


Obama told one of the voters from Florida, “The fact that you’re making your voice heard in this election — which is going to be the most important in my lifetime.”

A voter in Arizona told the former president that, “we came here to look for a better life, and I got it.”


Obama also spent some of the weekend phoning up voters individually to encourage them to cast their ballots. On Saturday he volunteered on a Democrat phonebank, with the recipients of his calls including new mother Alysaa.

Alysaa was shown in a video of the call, posted to Obama’s Twitter profile, joking about having a panic attack before saying she would love to vote for Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris. The call concludes with Mr Obama chatting to her 8-month-old son.




“You could be the difference between someone making it out to the polls or staying home," Mr Obama said in the caption to the video. "And many states could be decided by a handful of votes. "


During his speeches and rallies, Obama has painted President Trump as unfit to lead and a danger to the country.


“One of the few people in this administration who’s been taking this seriously all along and what’d he say? His second-term plan is to fire that guy,” Obama said on Monday after Trump suggested he would fire the nation's top infectious disease doctor after the election.

“Trump cares about feeding his ego, Joe cares about keeping you and your families safe,” Obama said Saturday. “And he’s less interested in feeding his ego with having big crowds than he is making sure he’s not going around making more and more people sick. That’s what you should expect from a president.”

Nearly 100 million people have already cast their ballots in early voting, with a surge in mail-in and early in-person voting resulting from public health concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic, putting the country on course for its highest turnout in a century. Some 239 million people are eligible to vote this year.
