Lots of people had to wait in some pretty long lines to cast their ballots in this week’s election.
But one south suburban man has been waiting to vote … for nearly four decades.
That’s how long Stanley Howard spent in Illinois prisons after being convicted of a murder he didn’t commit.
He’s now free, and WBEZ’s Alex Keefe tagged along as he voted for the first time.
