81-year-old Georgia woman votes for the first time as her late husband never let her
At 81, Betty Cartledge cast her first vote in Georgia after her husband, who never allowed her to participate, passed away. Cartledge's newfound sense of civic duty has made her a social media sensation, with many praising her milestone and criticizing her late husband's authoritarian control. “I was so young and everything when we got married, I never really thought about it,” Cartledge said. “And then I got old, and I thought that it wouldn’t count to vote.”
