ALT1 ... that at age 102, Beatrice Lumpkin, a union organizer and life-long member of the Communist Party, donned hazmat suit–style gear to drop off her vote-by-mail ballot for the US elections?

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I have rewritten it as ALT1 for clarity, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ is needed. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 06:07, 9 October 2020 (UTC) reply
Cwmhiraeth, QPQ is done. --- C& C ( Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:23, 15 October 2020 (UTC) reply
