TUCSON, Ariz. -- Former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has cast her vote in Tuesday's general election.

Giffords walked into the Pima County Recorder's Office in Tucson to drop off her mail-in ballot Monday afternoon.

She was accompanied by her former assistant, Democratic Rep. Ron Barber, who's running in the race for Congressional District 2 against Republican Martha McSally.

Barber is going for a full term after decidedly winning a special election in June to replace Giffords.

Giffords still is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head that she suffered in January 2011 while holding a meet-and-greet with constituents outside a Tucson supermarket.

She's been undergoing extensive rehabilitation for her injuries.

    Hundreds of thousands will cast their vote in Tucson. Should we name all of them too?

    i'm going to vote in about 8 hours. that will give you plenty of time to cover the story since my vote is just as important as hers. except i'll be voting for freedom and liberty and not more government control.

    I know Barber is the emotional favorite because of the shooting, but McSally looks to be a much better leader and would serve the Tucson area far better. We'll have to wait and see if Tucson has figured that out.
