NYC couple travels 9,300 miles from India to vote


NEW YORK – A New York City couple has traveled halfway around the world in the name of civic duty.

Susan Scott-Ker and her husband arrived in New York on Wednesday after flying 9,300 miles to vote in Tuesday's presidential election.

They have been working India but decided to return to New York when their absentee ballots failed to arrive. Their trip began in Bangalore with stopovers in New Delhi and Chicago.

It will be their first time voting in a presidential election. The New Zealand-born Scott-Ker and her Morroco-born husband became American citizens a year ago.

They estimate the trip will cost $5,000.

1. That's the kind of dedication

Obama's supporters have. Hell, they're not even from a closely contested state (haha, NY is about the easiest state to call).

But it also shows that people will stand in VERY long lines Tuesday to vote. You betcha!

2. Absolutely.....And Yahoo's neglecting of the fact that they're voting for Obama....

..... just really irks me.
