I Voted For Hillary (Twice)

Once for me and once for my soon to be ninety year old mom who is legally blind...She can see a bit but she certainly can't see a ballot... All the poll workers were making a fuss over her...She has voted for every Democratic president since FDR beat Wendell Wilkie in 1940...

She's definitely old school... She was super bright and graduated high school at 15 because she skipped the sixth and seventh grade but couldn't go to college because she had to support her widowed mom who was widowed when my mom was nine months old...Her dad died during The Great Influenza Of 1918...

We really liked all three candidates but our memory of the Clinton years are fond ones...

2. That's great that she's participating.. don't support her choice.. but

I'm glad she's still around to vote.. I lost my grandmother this summer to cancer who was too young, in my eyes, to go to the other side.. Cherish what you got.. I'm sure you do.

3. The Clintons should make your post title a bumper sticker.

5. If a 90 yr old woman can be bothered to vote

where's our massive youth vote. Good on her, she could teach these people a thing or 2.

8. What a great story!

I disagree with your mom's choice, but the important thing is that she voted for the candidate of HER choice. I hope she'll vote for the Democratic nominee in November!
