95-Year-Old's 70-Year Voting Streak Threatened by Mail-In Ballot Debates
A 95-year-old man in the US has voted in every election since 1952. Charles M. Weisenberg and his wife have relied on postal ballots for decades, but now fear losing that option. Their concerns come as debates over mail-in voting grow more intense. Charles M. Weisenberg has cast his ballot by mail since the 1970s. He and his 95-year-old wife, a former League of Women Voters member, live in a retirement community. Neither can drive, making trips to polling stations difficult.
Weisenberg believes President Trump aims to remove his right to vote by mail. His worries reflect broader disputes over voting access in the US. For him, the issue is deeply personal—a lifetime of civic participation now faces an uncertain future.
The couple’s voting routine spans half a century, but recent political shifts threaten their method. Without mail-in ballots, reaching a polling place would be a major challenge. Their situation highlights the practical barriers some voters face in elections.
