A Convincing Argument When my boyfriend and I were finally old enough to vote in our first presidential election, we spent months debating with one another about our chosen candidates. We were quite persuasive, as we discovered when we got home from the polls and learned that we'd both voted for the other's initial choice.―SHERRY FOX Appleton, WI

A Convincing Argument
When my boyfriend and I were finally old enough to vote in our first presidential election, we spent months debating with one another about our chosen candidates. We were quite persuasive, as we discovered when we got home from the polls and learned that we'd both voted for the other's initial choice.

Casting a Baseballot
In 2020, Boston used Fenway Park as an open-air voting facility because of COVID-19. After casting my ballot, I was able to walk through the empty stands. I snapped a photo of my I Voted sticker, with the legendary field and empty seats in the background. I don't know if the stadium will be open for voting again, but I can say for now that I'm part of a rare group who had the opportunity.

A Family Affair
As a girl, I always accompanied my mother to vote but had to wait outside the curtain. She was a private person and I respected that. But I wanted to do it differently with my own children. Each election, we'd walk to the voting site together and they'd come into the booth with me. One year, the poll worker smiled when we walked in and said, I look forward to this every year. All three children are now grown and are responsible voters. And I get to bring my grandsons with me now when I vote.
