    98 year old casts his ballot on the first day of early voting

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Sanje is originally from Sri Lanka, and he took both his mother-in-law and father-in-law to the local grocery store to get their early voting done. Sanje's father in law is 98, and as he says could very well be casting the last presidential vote of his life, so it was important for them to do it together. Sanje says the biggest issue for him is a continuation of social programs for the underpriviledged. He co-owns a preschool and a daycare where 99% of children come from subsidized daycare vouchers. He fears those programs would not be continued under a Romney/Ryan presidency.

    This is my 98 year old father in law, Wilson Senaratne and my 88 year old motheri n law, Matilda Senaratne who stood in a long line with me for nearly one hour to cast their Vote ....For ..President Obama.. on October 20th, the first day of early voting in Las Vegas Nevada. Thank you . Sanje Sedera
