While back in her home state of Illinois, Michelle Obama set aside some time to vote. Speaking at a fundraiser in the Windy City on Wednesday, she urged others to do the same.

“Early voting has already started here in Illinois,” she said. “In fact, I am going to be voting myself tomorrow.”

And the first lady did indeed cast an early ballot just after 9 a.m. Thursday morning at the MLK Community Center on Chicago’s South Side, according to a White House pool report.

“I think that’s you,” election Judge Dorothy Yarbrough told Obama at check-in.

“You think?” she answered with a smile.

And after a short tutorial on how to use the electronic voting machine, the first lady completed her ballot in six minutes.

Her husband, meanwhile, won’t make it to the polls in person; President Barack Obama will vote by absentee ballot.

You know, I'm absolutely sure that woman doesn't reside in Chicago, Illinois. I know she owns a house there, but last I checked, her actual residence is in Washington, DC.

How does she get to vote in Chicago anyway?
