Charles Stilkey voted for the first time on Tuesday. "It's time to do something," said the 56-year-old Lewiston resident. Stilkey said that the "civil unrest" is what inspired him to come out and vote. "The protests really bothered me," Stilkey said about the violence that followed some Black Lives Matter gatherings across the country. "I have never voted in my life, but after seeing what is going on in this country, I had to come out here and do this." Stilkey said he enjoyed voting, but was unhappy that poll workers were not handing out "I Voted" stickers because of COVID-19 precautions. "I wanted that sticker," said Stilkey.
