Election Day 1:25 p.m.

Jim McConnell was leaving his home at the Abbey of Olympus Retirement Living Center to ride around the block on his electric scooter. The 86-year-old moved from Washington eight years ago. He loves it in Eugene, which is also where his daughter lives, he said.

“I voted for Nixon,” said McConnell, remembering the first time he voted. “I thought Kennedy was too young.” He’s been voting every year since the ’60s, he said. He said he will be voting for Trump this year and is excited for this day to be over. “This election has just been brutal,” he said. He then got back on his scooter to finish his ride.
