MOLINE, Ill. — Three Moline kids are exercising their freedom and encouraging people to vote in the 2020 General Election on Election Day.

On Tuesday, November 3 siblings Konnor and Kaylynn joined neighbor Ian to demonstrate their American patriotism. 

"VOTE" and "HONK," said their signs, riddled with stars and smiley faces.

 Since Illinois recognizes Election Day as a holiday, these young patriots had some time in the afternoon to show their support for voters.

"We started off by wanting cars to honk then remembered it was Election Day and (mom) made signs to vote and honk; and we are learning about it in school," said Ian.

Even though they can't yet vote for another couple of election cycles, the students said they wanted to take part.

"It is cool that we can choose the next president," said Konnor. 

"It made me happy to hear people honk and smile," said Kaylynn. "I think people are working hard to do this (help America) and I give them good luck."
