MPR’s Lorna Benson interviews Yer Moua, a Hmong woman about her concerns and views as a voter. Speaking through her daughter, Mai Ning Moua, Yer said that although this will be her first U.S. election, this wont be her first time in a voting booth.
Yer Moua became a citizen in 1999. She fled from Laos with her family after the Vietnam War and spent three years in refugee camps before coming to America in 1981. Moua's husband died fighting on behalf of American forces during the war.
