power to the pe power to the people power to the people power to the people well, finally voters can expect long lines this year on election day in states where there is early voting, they ve already seen a lot of that. this one, though, is our favorite story of the day. been a while since we had one of these. yeah. well, one ft. myers woman surely has the record for the longest wait, casting her ballot for the very first time at age 99. chad oliver of our station in ft. myers, florida, has her story. reporter: within the ordinary comes the unexpected. amazing person, 99 years old, still has her right mind. reporter: hello. hello. reporter: here to see miss rosie. yes, come right in. come right in. reporter: never far from her
