Well, not really, since he went with me to vote in the primaries last spring, but he really seemed to take an interest in what we were doing today in a way that obviously didn't happen those several months ago. Of course, that's likely because we made it a sort of holiday. Our polling place is a little less than a mile away and, since there is a Koney Island en route and the weather was beautiful, we packed up early and 
headed out. We started Calvin's day with a Mickey Mouse pancake, then walked the rest of the way to the polling place in a deliciously warm autumn sun. Our wait was about 1.5 hours and my only complaint is that half of it was inside; what a waste on such a delightful day! But Calvin was incredibly well behaved and the process was a very smooth one; we were voters number 1,003 and 1,004 (oh if only we'd been three people earlier!), 
which I took as a sign of great voter turnout since the population (total) of our district is only 3,500 and it was only 11am when we signed in. On the way out Calvin was delighted to have earned his "I voted" sticker, and a cup of apple cider from the tent outside, and spent most of the walk home calling out "hurray, I voted!" to everyone we passed. It seems an auspicious beginning to his relationship with this civic duty.
