A vote 103 years in the making

At age 103, Ruline Steininger feels that she has little time to waste.

That's why on Thursday, Steininger became one of the first people in her state to vote in person for Hillary Clinton for president, taking one step closer to fulfilling her wish of being alive if Clinton makes history in November.

In a brief backstage meeting with Clinton, to which CNN was given exclusive access, Steininger told the Democratic nominee: "We're going to put you in the White House."
