I do not know this young man, but

[Rex_Goodheart]

his determination as a first time voter to get his vote counted has swelled my heart this morning with an aching pride, and my eyes with tears.

Thank you, Nick, for reminding this old man that there is still some decency left in this country, and even though I think it was naive of you to believe that the electronic machines would be preferrable to paper ballots in getting your vote counted, at least your story has given me something good to take away from this awful election.

Nick Papa, 18, a freshman at Kenyon, said he got in line at 4:30 and was told it might be six or seven hours, but he was still in line at 1:30 a.m. At one point, election officials offered paper ballots, but the students rebelled, saying they wanted to use the electronic machines "to make sure our votes count," Papa said.
