BRISTOW, Va. — President Barack Obama appeared to a late-night crowd of 24,000 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow to remind people of what he’s accomplished in the last four years and tell them what he plans to accomplish in the next four. But to do that, they all must head to the polls Nov. 6 and vote — for him.

But it wasn’t just the president who brought out so many people late on such a cold night. Popular former president Bill Clinton and musician Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band were part of the program, making it political entertainment.

Former governor and Virginia senatorial candidate Tim Kaine, Congressman Gerry Connolly and Delegate Luke Torian also gave motivational go-out-and-vote speeches.

Election Day is Nov. 6, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Click here to find where you vote, if you’re registered or what identification to bring.
