Watch Jurnee Smollett talk about how she knocked on people's doors, in order to get them vote in the US elections.

Child star, Jurnee Smollett had the great opportunity of being whisked away by the democratic party during the US elections. She headed to Las Vegas to host the King Committe, and to encourage people to vote. Unbeknown to her, she was to introduce Barack Obama which was an electrifying experience, she told t5m.

Her family lived and breathed the election campaign, and even slept with CNN on in the background! Jurnee explains that she was so excited as she genuinelly believed in Obama. The next day, her and her family joined Senator Horsewood of Nevada and his family, together they knocked on everyone’s doors encouraging them to go and vote. She met a woman in MacDonalds, who had never voted in her life, and Jurnee convinced her to go and place her vote. Jurnee was so dedicated to the cause, she ended up driving the woman to the polling station, just to cast her vote.
