What did we just see in Brazil? When Nazi / Confederate billionaires try to interfere and suppress votes, it pisses people off!

OMG. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ This is Virginia Dillard, who at 105 years of age refused to do curbside or absentee voting; instead, she wanted to walk in and serve as a role model for young people. The first article is about her vote in the primary this year. The picture below seems to be from early voting for the general election. Both interviews with her are very worthwhile. If she can go vote, who can't? Thank you, Virginia Dillard! https://www.becauseofthemwecan.com/105-year-old-virginia-dillard-walked-into-her-east-texas-polling-place-and-cast-her-vote/ https://allchronology.com/2026/10/27/they-didnt-let-us-vote-at-105-this-texas-woman-walked-into-a-polling-place-and-delivered-a-powerful-message-to-america/
