Elizabeth Hinton adheres to a few simple rules in her life.
Her clothes must be fashionable and well-fitted, she never eats seconds, and when it comes to voting, she does it in person.
And Tuesday was no different for the 106-year-old, who slowly pushed her walker into the Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School auditorium in Dorchester to vote in her 22d presidential election.
With the help of her niece, Helen Robinson, Hinton navigated the two-page ballot Tuesday, smiling and nodding when Robinson asked whether she wanted to vote for Barack Obama.

Slight and barely 4 feet 8 inches tall, Hinton has some hearing loss, and her speech has slowed, but Robinson, who is also her caretaker, could tell that her aunt was proud to vote again for Obama.
