'Wait For It': 'Hamilton' Star Leslie Odom Jr. Shares A Message To Voters

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — "Hamilton" star Leslie Odom Jr. had an important message for voters as they await the results of the election.

Odom shared a video of his iconic "Hamilton" anthem "Wait For It" saying, "every American deserves to have their voice heard."

Odom used his incredible voice to urge voters to be patient while awaiting the election results.

"In this historic election, millions of you have mailed in your ballots or dropped them off and all of us deserve to be counted," he said. "These are votes for our grandparents staying safe from COVID. Our overseas military sending their ballots by mail. Our neighbors, our friends, nurses, teachers, firefighters."
