Campaigning Not Just for Those Old Enough to Vote

Despite chilly temperatures, Winder sisters stood outside a Barrow County polling location holding a sign in support of a candidate for Barrow County sheriff.

Meg Folsom danced around outside the Winder Community Center — one of several polling locations in Barrow County — on Election Day holding a sign in support of her uncle. 

Meg, who will celebrate her 10th birthday Wednesday, was joined by her sister, 16-year-old Courtney Jane Folsom. 

"We're showing our support 'cause we can't vote," Courtney Jane said.
