103-year-old Quincy votes in 2024 Election

103-year-old Quincy votes in 2024 Election

A 103-year-old Quincy woman says she’s thankful to be able to vote.
Edna Mae Robinson strutted out of the Joe Ferolito Recreation Center around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, after performing her civic duty.
“I feel good that I’m able to vote,” Robinson shared, with her “I voted” sticker proudly displayed on her shirt. “I’ve been here a hundred years.”
Jossie Barrosso with the Harris campaign said voting for Kamala Harris – a black and Indian woman – was a full-circle moment for Robinson.
Robinson campaigned for Shirley Chisholm in 1972 who was the first black woman to run for president of the United States.
”That’s your right. Vote!” Robinson said. ”So we all can be treated equally. We all are human. Vote for our rights.”
Robinson will turn 104 on Nov. 22.
She was three months shy of her 40th birthday when the Voting Rights Act was passed in August of 1965, giving black people the right to vote.
Assistant Supervisor of Elections Kenya Ponder Williams, who will soon replace current Supervisor of Election Shirley Green Knight when she retires, said Robinson was one of more than 22,000 Gadsden Countians who voted in the General Election.
