Kemper now:
That's wonderful!!!
I work with older youth and encourage all of my 18 - 22 year olds to
become informed and to vote... even if its against the person/measure
that I'm for!  To me, it's more important to get youth politically
engaged.

I hope your daughter's experience will be good one.

In my state, Oregon, we get our ballots a couple of weeks before
election day.  That way everyone gets the opportunity to vote without
losing a day of work or standing in lines that stretch forever.

I'm surprised other states don't adopt our awesome system!
