(NAME-MCE) Voting in churches

[Bill Howe]

I remember as a very young child, growing up in a small town in Canada,
accompanying my immigrant mother to a voting station that was in the kitchen
of a house in our neighborhood. She was so proud to exercise her right to
vote as a relatively new citizen, having escaped communist China. I remember
her outrage as the man (a neighbor) snatched the ballot out her hand, opened
it to read how she voted and then stuffed it in the box.
