1. Nice story.

[Divine Discontent]

2. aw... touching story. Glad she held on to do the this one thing that many of us take for granted

and, hopefully, Hillary will indeed make it!

[Laffy Kat]

3. This gave me goosebumps and tears in my eyes.

Thanks for posting.

4. Yes, it brought tears to my eyes too..

Lack of enthusiasm, passion - my a**. There's no one on this earth who can be more passionate than this person - loudness is not equal to passion. Women are quiet, but determined. The 19th amendment vs 2nd amendment - bring it on.

5. Seriously, Republicans After Reading That Story Will Likely Seek to Throw Ballot Out

by questioning her mental capacity

16. Not sure about her locale

but in NC her ballot wouldn't count they throw out the votes of those who die before election day.

18. How would they know?

They can't check every single one.

[dsc]

19. I would imagine they cross check with the health dept

or whomever does death certificates.

20. Yes that is how it works

Funeral homes notify government agencies including social security upon death.

6. This brought tears to my eyes.

Hillary will make it, for the Marie Whittakers of the world.

13. +1

7. Sweet! Glad Raleigh, NC has early voting

that's a very impactful story. Many elderly won't be able to stand in line for hours on election day so it's very important to have early voting to spread it out.

11. Thank you for that story.

My mother was born in 1916, and I think she took the right to vote more or less for granted. But she did vote.

My sister-in-law in 1968 said she didn't know why she should bother to vote, since her vote simply negated her husband's (my brother). I was still too young to vote myself, but told sister-in-law she absolutely should vote. Her negation of my brother's vote mattered more than she knew.

Every vote counts.

I am ashamed to admit that I did not vote in 1972, but I have voted in every election and primary since then.

12. Very sweet story.. I'm also misty eyed. I'm glad she said that Hillary had made it. N/T
