Oh, I remember it! I was extremely pregnant with my third child and it was the first election I voted in. I stood in line quite awhile, but since I was actually due that week, they got a chair for me and let me sit in line. Everyone was very nice (I think they were afraid I would give birth in line)!
I was so thrilled to cast my vote for Ronald Reagan and it was a very jovial crowd in Midland TX that day. I thought, at the time, that it was always like this, voting FOR someone. Little did I know it would be the last time I would happily cast my vote for a candidate I was completely excited about. But it’s a very happy memory. God Bless Ronald Reagan, my favorite President! :)
I could not vote for Reagan until 1984.
As I posted on September 1st I was in the audience for Ronald Reagan at Jersey City’s Liberty State Park on September 1st, 1980.
It was a far better day 31 years ago compared to the day after Jimmy ‘I’ll never lie to you” Carter had won 1n 1976.
