Good for you & your hubby, Jean! West Virginians sure are a determined bunch! We had a similar experience last year after Jim was discharged from the hospital following a major kidney operation. I didn't want him to risk bleeding, but he insisted on going with me. To our surprise, two poll workers (one came as a witness) actually came to our car with THE registration book, had him sign it, then gave him a ballot to mark. They asked me to follow them back inside to watch that the ballot was submitted properly. I had to take pictures - that was a first! It felt like something that might happen back in the good ol' days. I was very proud of our poll workers. Today, it only took us 10 min. to vote at 9:00 AM.

Our Central Pa. weather is a beautiful 39 degrees . Husband was discharged from the hospital late Friday night with pnuemonia and congestive heart failure. Had a bad night last night. We made it to vote with a portable oxygen tank, him in a wheelchair and one stuborn WV woman. . He said he never would have voted if I hadn' t said. "You are going to vote, it's a close election!". Think the outing did him good. A GOOD LAUGH AND A LONG NIGHTS SLEEP ARE THE TWO BEST CURES FOR ANYTHING.

Did so this morning! I have never missed an election. the weather is drizzly/snowy today in Madison, WI--hope that won't affect turnout. Two Madison cab companies are offering free rides to the polls.
