dreamflowerThere was some coverage of the voting in OKC, as a reporter interviewed people at one of the local polling precincts. She stopped one lady (she looked like maybe in her mid-60s).
This lady said she did not know how to read and write, but with help, she had voted for the first time in her life! She said it was too important to vote this time to be proud.
I'd have been happy for her even if she was voting for the "other guy", but she had voted for "my guy Obama", and someone who was running for sheriff in that precinct. I don't know about the candidate for sheriff there, but am quite glad for her vote for the President.
