My son-in-law allowed my nine year-old granddaughter fill in 'Clinton-Kaine' on his ballot.

That was wonderful. He wanted her to have the experience of "voting" for a female candidate. A full nine years before she will legally be allowed to vote.

has a voting booth for kids. They can cast their ballot for one of the four candidates, or write in anybody they want. We went into the store on Saturday morning, and they told us all about the process. We'll go in Tomorrow afternoon.
