I'm not quite sure what you're expecting in this case.
I can understand if you are expecting the parent context to be passed 
down to the child, but the code:

it "should be able to vote"   # does not work

Is only saying "here is a description about what I want to test... I'm 
getting ready to test something.... and ... nothing"

I'd imagine based on a conversation we had that you "might" be expecting 
the implicit method calling/subject setup mentioned in the post here:

http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/2009/01/13/rspec-1-1-12-is-released/

However, for that, you'd actually need the following syntax (which is 
probably using some magic shortcuts behind the scenes):

it { should be_able_to_vote }

You'd also need to add (perhaps monkey-patch if you're dealing with an 
existing C# dll) the method that RSpec will be looking for (namely: 
able_to_vote? )

Since you already have CanVote, you could actually just alias it like 
this:

class Person
   alias_method :able_to_vote?, :CanVote
end

Let us/me know if this helps, and how far you get from here
If you'd like to discuss further personally, please email or direct 
message me.
Thanks
