I would have been 21 in 1933. My first presidential election was in 1936 and Franklin Roosevelt won. I don't remember much about voting but I know I always did. I remember registering to vote. We had to go to city hall. I remember we had to pay a poll tax in order to vote. My parents always voted my mother always voted and was very strong about women, and everyone voting. She must have voted in one of the first elections after women had the right to vote.
Now we are off to play bingo and eat the mint chocolate chip cookies we made earlier.
