Dangerboy went to his first election for the town in April 2010, and hasn't missed one since. He gets excited about it, the poll workers know him, we talk a little about what we're voting for and what happens, he does get to help feed the ballot into the scanner. He also demands to know why toddlers and kids can't vote.
Kids can get weird ideas about voting, of course. His older cousin was almost three for her first presidential election, and became very upset at the polling place because she had become convinced that Joe Biden would be there personally, and he was not.
