Everyone Loves This 102-Year-Old Lady Who Voted for Hillary Clinton

Women got the right to vote in 1920.

Jerry Emmett was born in 1914.

This year, the woman — who can actually remember her mother leaving their home to vote for the first time after the 19th Amendment was ratified — voted for the first female presidential nominee from a major party, Hillary Clinton, according to the New York Daily News. She made sure to vote early and is urging others in her state to do the same.

As an honorary Democratic delegate from Arizona, Emmett was the one who announced her state’s votes for Clinton during the roll call at the Democratic National Convention.

Check her out during a 60 Minutes interview:

She said that she can’t be sure why God allowed her to live so long but her main goal now is to see Clinton elected as President before she dies.

After her early voting story his the press yesterday, people on the Internet took notice of her enthusiastic nature and sharp fashion sense.
