WARREN, Ohio - Even at age 103, Esther Fobes won't be
sitting out this Election Day.
The Warren, Ohio, senior citizen says she's voted in every
election since women were granted that right in 1920.
She cast her first ballot for Republican candidate Warren
Harding. In those days, Fobes says they would ride to the polling
place in a horse-drawn buggy.
Fobes says she'll be staying up late tonight, to see who
wins. She adds she'll be drinking plenty of coffee. |
