Voter tells CNN he voted so girlfriend wouldn’t break up with him

A video was making the rounds Tuesday evening on social media of a voter who told CNN, "I wasn't going to vote at all until my girlfriend was blowing up my phone telling me to go vote and if I didn't she was going to break up with me."

The voter, Brian Flores in North Carolina, told CNN's reporter that he voted for Harris.

Later in the interview, he said that he made up the fact that she was going to break up with him, but his girlfriend had encouraged him to vote when he was planning on sitting the election out.

According to Flores, it took him a couple hours to vote because he had to fix his address.

The video gained popularity on social media, where former Portland comedian Amy Miller called the man's girlfriend a "young queen with standards" and one tweet of the clip had nearly 400,000 views in 15 minutes.
