My Mom asked for a paper ballot today!
She said very politely that she didn't want to use those machines with the "little yellow button" in the back.

Poll worker said to her that he voted by absentee, she assured him that was going to be the way she votes next time.

She asked him if she was the first one this morning to ask for a paper ballot, he said no, 12-15 people had asked for one (this was at 8 am PST)

She was so proud of herself, I am proud of her too. :thumbsup:

1. Give your Mom a big hug from me and tell her "GOOD JOB!"
I'm sure this was no small thing for her, she needs to know even complete strangers are grateful to her for doing the right thing! :thumbsup:
