Voting For The First Time
Elkton, MDJune 2014
I am holding a voters' registration drive and an old man stopped in to the Cecil County Democrats Headquarters and asked if he could register to vote. He told me he was 70 and had never voted before.
“But I’m going to need some help because I can't hardly read that good”, he tells me a bit ashamed of himself.
I filled out the form for him and I asked him how he wanted to register: Democrat, Green, Republican or Independent.
“I ain’t never voted before. Nope, never did. I don’t know whats I am but I think it’s time I started voting, on account a my son. I lost him in Iraq. I’m voting for him now.”
