A date with history

From Daily News staff writer Gregory J. Wilcox:

We arrived at our polling place, Winnetka Avenue Elementary School, about
6 p.m. The line stretched out of the school's assembly room.
We've
voted here every election since moving into the Valley in 1998. This
was our longest wait. And it was different.
Kids were waiting in line with their parents. "Do you have to be 18 years old to vote?" a young
girl in front of us asked her mother.
"Yes," her mother said.
"But not to be a part of history," my wife said.
By the time we got home it looked like she might be right.
