    My Son Learns to Vote In NNY's 23RD District's Congressional Race

    By Liberty1955  |  Posted November 3, 2009  |  Watertown, New York
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Liberty1955 has been commented for this election in his district, New York's 23rd. His final thoughts were that Scozzafava probably could have won his district. He thinks conservatives tried putting Hoffman through as a test for other districts.
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    Children need to know what's involved in voting. David, my son, was asking me who I was going to vote for for Congressman- Owens or Hoffman.

     

    He's 12 years old. They hear me talk about politics so I thought tonight would be a good time for him to see first hand how we do this.

     

    I took him to my polling location and filmed the event. His choice for Congressman was Owens.

     

    You see him give the "thumbs up" when he sees my choice.

     

    Hope this helps, Bill.

     

    David put the ballot in the electronic polling machine. This is the first year that we've used them. Last year was the levers, curtain and some privacy to make your decision.

     

    David thought the process was pretty cool!
