My grandmother is in her late 90s and still, as my spouse avers, "a pip." I think she'd be right at home with these
retirees in Florida putting in 12-hour days to make sure that all their peers vote this year. They're working phone banks, signing up drivers, pestering shoppers. When I have people in their 80s and 90s tell me they think it's the most important election of their lives, I think maybe that my own instincts aren't that far off-base . . .
