WASHINGTON – White suit? Check. Early voting ballot? Also check.

Arizona resident Jerry Emmett is 102 years old – she was born before women in the United States gained the right to vote. This week, she cast her ballot early, voting for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

To mark the occasion, Emmett donned a crisp white suit and blue shirt. Photos of Emmett in her getup set off a cascade of responses on Twitter – we’re sharing some of the highlights in the gallery above.
