But after beingmarriedfor 64 years, he passed away in April 2023.
And now Betty is making her own choices.
I was married to him for 64 years; I knew everything about him.
But that was something he never discussed and never wanted to do, Cartledge toldThe Washington Post.
And thankfully, Betty was very happy with her choice to show up.
I wanted to go, I really did, she told The Washington Post.
Im sorry I had waited so long.
I wish I had done it before now.
But Cartledge made it clear that it was completely up to her who she voted for.
It was amazing, Betty said.
If I could do it, other people who cant read and write can do it, too.
Now Im not ashamed of it.
But unfortunately, not everyone feels safe exercising their voting rights.
However, that doesnt stop people from worrying about their spouse potentially finding out who they supported.
