My daughter-in-law got her citizenship last week; she voted today with my 1.5 yr. old granddaughter

helping to place the ballot into the box. Just in time to help us save our USA.

I'd love to post pictures, but I don't want to make them a target.

along with other source material. I'd never tell anyone who to vote for, but I know their political leanings, so I don't have a problem with putting options in front of 'em and letting them make up their own mind.

I voted yesterday, too. I usually like to vote at the polling location across the street, but there was a bit more time & research involved this year. I wanted to get it in and done! I love the image: three generations of voters participating in one of our most routine, yet sacred, miracles.

It’s ironic that those who naturalize know more about how our government works than those born and raised here. I doubt the orange maggot could pass the basic citizenship test your daughter in law did.

I was a politicial science major in college and have always been up on how our government works.
