davidfcooperI describe mine in a comment to novapsyche's post. But that was not my earliest election day recollection. I remember accompanying my parents to the polls for a state wide election two years earlier. I tried to do an extemporaneous poll of my own, but when I asked the grownups present for whom they were voting everyone had the same reply: "the best man." There were no women on the ballot in 1958. I must have been a cute three year old.
