102-year-old woman votes wearing PPE: ‘Nobody should have an excuse’

Despite being in a high-risk group, 102-year-old Bea Lumpkin of Chicago cast her mail-in ballot while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), saying that if she can vote, everyone can and should.
Lumpkin, a retired teacher, told ABC’s “Good Morning America this week, “I think that in this election more than any other that I’ve taken part in, the only way we can answer it is for the people to come out and vote and stay active to a degree we’ve never seen before.”
“Nobody should have an excuse” for not voting, said Lumpkin, who has voted consistently since 1940.
