BOULDER, Colo.—Worried that she didn’t have time to send in her mail-in ballot, Cynthia Bolen-Nieland decided not to chance it and boarded a plane Sunday from Germany to Boulder.

Bolen-Nieland made it in time to cast her vote at 8 a.m. Tuesday in Boulder. Bolen-Nieland, an American citizen living in Germany, says she became enamored with Obama after seeing him speak in front of a crowd of 200,000 near the Brandenburg Gate in July.

She says she wanted the feeling of owning a very historic moment.

Bolen-Nieland is the daughter of Olympian David Bolen, former U.S. ambassador to Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Germany.
