We took Elise with us when we went to vote in the primaries on Tuesday. No, we didn't use her to somehow cast an extra ballot -- after all, I was born in Chicago, but I don't live there -- but good habits start young, right?Anyway, turnout was ridiculously low -- no surprise there -- but I think the old guy handing out "I Voted" stickers was glad Elise turned out. He almost did not let us leave; she was dishing out big smiles and he was just thrilled.
Next year I'll teach her to stay up and track poll results as they come in. How exciting!
