Oltime DUers: Pleased to announce that the baby blm you've heard about since 2001 [View all]

entered the voting booth for the very first time - fully confident she understood the candidates and the issues - and cast her votes.

You all are part of this proud moment because I have shared with her over these years many of our best moments here at DU.

Thank you.
