But this year she did and already early voted! Voted blue in a red state. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648856 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 18:24:56 +0000 nana87 2648856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay that's awesome!</p> <p>My husband was canvassing in a swing state yesterday and things he might have gotten a couple people who were on the fence about voting at all to the polls (he tells them that despite volunteering for Clinton, he doesn't care who they vote for as long as they vote). They might be lying, lol, but at least he tried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648855 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 18:13:25 +0000 BSB 2648855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great but it's sad that it took this long. Sad that she felt like her vote never counted before. Good for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648848 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 17:31:22 +0000 FancyGem 2648848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648847 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 17:31:02 +0000 lilybean 2648847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648846 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 17:27:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2648846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:happy: even when voting with the flock exercising one's vote is beautiful. Kudos to your mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648844 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 17:26:26 +0000 catgirl 2648844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so awesome! I've volunteered with high schoolers for the past nine years so most of the kids I have worked with are late teens to early twenties. I have helped so many of them register to vote this year. It makes me so happy to see them taking an interest in the world and voting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648831 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 16:18:38 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2648831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: so cool :heart: No encouraging stories over here, except my husband did say he will register and vote in the next election. Better than his typical "I don't vote" speech! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-just-registered-to-vote-at-age-57#post-2648824 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 15:54:51 +0000 DesertDreams88 2648824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She told me I couldn't put it on Facebook but I am soooo proud of her, I have to tell some people! She has never voted in her life despite her father, husband, and daughter (me) all being very interested in politics and urging her to participate in the opportunity of voting. She lives in a very blue state and always acted disinterested and/or as if her voice didn't matter. I had lost hope in convincing her to vote..... but today she told me she registered at 11pm the last day available for registration, and she's going to the polls on Tuesday!!! And she's voting for Hillary.... and hopefully blue all the way down the ballot. Yay :) I'm a social studies / civics teacher so I'm especially proud. Now I just have to re-try with my brother who lives in FL...</p> <p>Any "bright" encouraging election stories for you lately? Any typical non-voters you know, choosing to vote this year? </p>
