Today in Indiana we hold our primary. My son as many of you know is
18 and has developmental delays. So this makes this step in his rights
a hard one to reach. It didn't mean it wasn't reachable, just that it was
going to take a little more work.

Last week he started asking me questions about the election. And because I didn't feel like I was very qualified to try and explain everything. I suggested he ask his current events aide. So he did. And the whole group of
seniors, who are old enough to vote got the information.

So he today went in and voted. After showing his ID and then getting the little card. He then politely told the lady when she asked. That he did not know how to use the card. So she took him over and showed him. He then
asked if someone could read the directions.

So I read the directions, and the lady explain to pick one if one. Or more if it said so. He still didn't understand it all. But with some work we got that straightened out.

So he voted for his first time.
And yesterday his dad and I were appointed his guardians. What a twist
sometimes. But just a situation like today shows why it was necessary.
