PHOENIX (Reuters) - When a brass band, mariachi musicians and a folk dancer wearing a dress embroidered with the words "Tu Voto Cuenta" - or "Your Vote Counts" - paraded through her West Phoenix neighborhood, Marizol Moreno came outside in her pajamas to watch.

But after her husband, father and several family members got coronavirus, she started to consider going to the polls on Tuesday to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
