This is one of the most positive - and humbling -- descriptions that I have read during this election season. If this doesn't illustrate another wonderful reason to vote -- I don't know what will.
So go vote!
The e-mail read: For me the most moving moment came when the family in front of me, comprising probably four generations of voters (including an 18-year-old girl voting for her first time and a ninetysomething hunched-over grandmother), got their turn to vote. When the old woman left the voting booth, she made it about halfway to the door before collapsing in a nearby chair, where she began weeping uncontrollably. When we rushed over to help, we realised that she wasnt in trouble at all, but she had not truly believed, until she left the booth, she would ever live long enough to cast a vote for an African American for president.
