Voting AT HOME
For Sue Leroux, voting brings back fond childhood memories. She grew up in Lancaster, Ohio, in a neighborhood where there were no public buildings. So Sue's parents agreed to have the neighborhood polling place in their cinderblock basement. Before each election day, her parents transformed the normally unkempt basement into a festive space, where blue-haired ladies snacked on coffee cake. Sue grew up thinking of voting as a sacred rite - a feeling that has stayed with her all her life.
