Very cute!
I don't remember the old voting machines.
But I do remember when I was pretty young my dad took me with him to vote. As we walked out hand in hand I looked up at him and asked (imgaine little kid voice), "Who did you vote for?" He wouldn't tell me. As a journalist he keeps his views very private. He has never told me a presidential candidate he voted for. But in this situation I was like 5. Who am I gonna tell?????

i don't think in az. they used them in our lifetime. they always used the punchcards. and yes john i did vote for libs as far as i know. at first i went through and voted for all the women but then i realized that meant i was voting for some republicans so i changed them. jason voted based on geometric pattern and then republicans for anything that had to do with money.

This brings back a lot of memories. I remember being in elementary school (early elementary school) and we had a mock election on the actual election day. All of us got to vote on a ballot and everything! I remember voting for Reagan because I heard my parents talking about Reagan. Talk about impressionable!

wow that is the closest we will ever hear of erica putting her mark next to a republican name. :O)

I voted again Reagan! But I do remember him winning on our mock election, too. :)

Ann said...

against Reagan that should say.

actually the first mock election i remember was in high school with clinton and the old bush. i voted for clinton just because i knew it would burn my dad that his kid was voting for a democrat. see john, now you know where it all comes from!
