104-Yr-Old Woman, Born Before Women Had The Vote, Votes Against 'Ahole Trump'

Daily Kos, Oct. 26, 2020.

I have no words. Ruth, a 104-year-old voter, who was born in 1916, knows exactly why she is voting.

Today I had the honor to escorting my 104.5 year-old friend Ruth to vote.

She was born before women had the right to vote.

Her 1st vote was for FDR.

Her dad died of the flu during the pandemic of 1918, when she was 2.

This is her voting story today.





- This is why they marched. Suffragette Mothers March, New York.
