Well, I'm only a little over half that age, and I feel pretty old sometimes.

The key is for them to take their time, read the directions, ask for help if
necessary, and don't succumb to peer pressure (knowing that people are
waiting behind you).  That's a voter's obligation.

According to ABC news, in many precincts voters -- especially older voters --
were told that they had *exactly* five minutes to cast their ballots otherwise
their ballots would be disqualified.  In another case, also reported by ABC and
CBS, translators for minority voters were not allowed to assist those voters.
