Nothing in that excerpt about an age restriction either...I wonder
how long it was before "person" in this law was actually interpreted

great-grandmother wouldn't have been allowed to cast a ballot for a
presidential candidate until she was 32 years old and a mother of
three....r

With the nineteenth amendment or earlier? In Arizona (and Oregon),
women got the vote in 1912. In Illinois women could vote for
president beginning in 1913. They couldn't, however, vote for any
offices mentioned in the Illinois constitution.

Granny was from "Indian Country" (now Oklahoma)....r
