From The Examiner:
ATLANTA -- An Atlanta woman is living proof you’re never too old to get out and vote.
SLIDESHOW: 106-Year-Old Atlanta Woman Casts Ballot
Ann Cooper, 106, said she has voted in numerous presidential elections.
Cooper, who is African-American, said she never imagined seeing an African-American nominated for president in her lifetime.
Cooper hopes to motivate others to cast their ballots.
“By all means, no matter what, get out and vote. Vote your choice,” said Cooper.

This woman is a year older than my father's father (he was born in 1903, she in 1902). I can safely say Grandpa would've voted Obama. As for my three other grandparents (sadly all dancing with the ancestors now) I'm fairly sure they would have, too.
