Yeah Nevada Dems. The person quoted was 36. Unfortunately, I can’t tell by the name if it is’s a man or woman. Tardis, is Fatos a man or woman’s name? This is someone who definitely came here as a young adult during the Kosovo crisis. Kind of reminds me of my Afghan friend in 12th grade government who was just so eager to learn more about our government. He really humbled me because he was my age and had experience the Taliban. It really showed me how sheltered I really was at that point in my life.
“I’ll be honest, because I’m from Kosovo, I’m going to vote because of Bill Clinton,” he said. “I came here as a war refugee, so this is a kind of thanks for what they did for us.”

Ah, I thought you were talking about South Carolina. Ours is early 20s—don’t really know his whole story—just that he was getting frustrated on the phone bank because he has a strong accent and people couldn’t understand him, and he would get really excited talking about Hillary and it would be worse. I think they moved him to canvassing, so people could see him and share his excitement.
