I was the first in my county some 50 years ago when the voting age dropped from 21 to 18, to register to vote.  I got a notice in the local paper for my civic duty and pride.  I have not missed a national election, State election, and local election since.  Fifty years of voting not on a single party line, but by my conscious and what I believed would be the best person for the job.  I won some and lost some.  The biggest loss ever was 2016 when my choice lost the popular vote, and the other person won electoral vote by congress.  We all know where that has taken us, and how it has divided Democracy into a mockery.
