Eldridge Cleaver emerges from polling booth here after voting for the first time in his life. Cleaver, 41, is a convicted former felon, who served 9 years in various prisons, and was on parole over 2 years. He is voting today (November 2, 1976) because there are special circumstances in which convicted felons are permitted to vote, and he qualified. (UPI Photo/jh/Files)
