Donna Kufman cast her ballot on a cloudy Tuesday at Oxford One, at 7:26 a.m., 15 minutes after she arrived to stand in line.

Kufman, a 62-year-old retired Oxford native, dressed in jeans and a sweater was ecstatic that today was the day she has been waiting for.

“I’m here because I want to vote,” Kufman said.

Kaufman looked around hesitantly before giving me her opinion on the election.

“I think Donald Trump is a lot better choice. He’s never been political, never been in this ring of corruption we’re in,” Kufman said.

Kufman was not hesitant at all and raised her voice when she started talking about abortion.

“I really think babies have the right to live. My granddaughters were born at 35 weeks. If someone said they could be aborted that’s stupid,” Kufman said.

Kufman energetically said when asked about the record turnout of registered voters.

“Its amazing,” Kufman said.

Looking at her wristwatch Kufman was angry about the use of social media during the election.

“I think social media has lied a whole lot about this election, CNN and all others have lied,” Kufman said.

Walking away Kufman told her friend she was glad to finally be heard.

“I’m tired of being shadowed out,” Kufman said.
