Maino waited in line for about an hour to vote in New York, and he said it was worth it. Especially because prior to a few weeks ago, he thought his criminal record would prevent him from being eligible.
“I had a great team, the supporting cast around me,” Maino said, explaining how he found out his rights. “I thought I couldn’t vote. I had been incarcerated; I had two violent felonies. I did a long bid. I felt I would never be able to vote. They don’t inform us that we have those rights. My people told me, ‘We researched it. You can vote.’ I was like, ‘Nah.’ I was arguing with them. I didn’t even want to fill out the voter registration. I felt it would be a waste of time. But I filled it out, it came back, and I was [good to go].
“It was a major experience,” he added about voting. “I’d never been a part of anything like that, other than when I was very young, going with my mother. I never went inside the booth. It was just a beautiful experience knowing we’re on the verge of making history. Win, lose or draw, it feels good to be a part of something.”
