LOD: Youth Alert

A father in coastal Carteret County writes about his daughter’s hectic week of a senior prom, body piercing, and first time voting – a glimpse into the promising world ahead for us and the value of good parenting. Tucked inside Brad Rich’s story is something else, too: His daughter, Summer, was handed the wrong ballot when she went to vote on May 8th – but fortunately she spoke up and made the precinct official correct the mistake. How many others were given the wrong ballot, one designed for 17 year olds that lacked the so-called marriage amendment? If you or someone you know experienced that problem, please call 888-OUR-VOTE.
