The funny thing was, this time four years ago I *voted* in Florida.

My first ever presidential election was in 1996, when I was a 
sophomore in college.  I voted in 1997 in the local elections (or 
something like that), and in 1998 in the election that put Jeb in 
office.  Still have my old voter's registration card somewhere.

One of my most controversial columns as a student journalist was a 
fiery critique of the low voter turnout that contributed to Jeb's 
election.  I got e-mails about "Tales of the Disenfranchised" from 
the online version of that issue for more than a year afterwards... 
even after I graduated and moved up to Michigan.

Funny thing was, I was registered in Michigan and in Florida.  I 
never voted both places, but my mother did sent me the absentee 
ballots.  I voted in Michigan during the summers, and voted in the 
fall in Florida.

Hmm.  Wonder if I'm still listed at my old precinct?  Something tells 
me that I am.

Oh, well.  Too late now.  :(
