I've told you before about Florence Stein of South Dakota who was 88 years old and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside.

Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot.
她的女兒和一個(gè)朋友在她的床后掛上了一面美國(guó)國(guó)旗，并幫她填寫了選票。
She passed away soon after and, under state law, her ballot didn't count, but her daughter later told a reporter,
她不久后去世了，可惜的是，按照州法律，她的選票不能生效，她的女兒后來(lái)告訴一位記者：
"My dad's an ornery, old cowboy, and he didn't like it when he heard mom's vote wouldn't be counted.
“我爸爸是一個(gè)粗人、老牛仔，當(dāng)他聽說(shuō)媽媽的選票無(wú)效時(shí)很難過(guò)，
