12 years. I've had a lot of voters take their kid/s in with them, prior to the new election machines they would be in a machine that curtains covered them, so what went on in there was none of my business.

With the new machines where there's very little privacy, if the adult tells their child to push a button, I wouldn't have a problem with that, it's still their vote no matter who pushes it. The voter has the control over the casting of it. And by the way, it's still none of my business.
