In Kensington, Jill Weidman, an artist and graphic designer, voted Clinton. She told us, "I'm feeling very emotional. I cried in the booth; but then again, I cried for Obama too. I'm Canadian and came from a progressive family. We moved to Houston in '79 into such Republican hypocrisy. I look back on Houston now and Houston then, and it's changed. I talk to my friends, and they don't have the lawn signs. It's nice to feel vindicated. As a woman who has been catcalled and harassed, it's incredible and amazing [to vote for HRC]. But really, it's for my kids." (Fraylie Nord / Gothamist)
