spent the better part of the morning shuttling folks to the polls!

As I mentioned in another thread ...

On my second trip, I ferried a set of 92 year old African-American sisters (twins). They told me that have voted in every election since the passage of the VRA. They thanked me, as the one sister had just stopped driving, and they were concerned that they wouldn't be able to get to the polls.

On another trip, I shuttled a group of 18 and 19 year olds, who were voting for the first time. From their conversation, it seems they were motivated to vote because &quot Martha) McSally was going to make it so they couldn't afford to continue in school." (That was a Ron Barber ad!)
