Would have voted in the local elections, but I've got ~15 days and 6 months to my 18th birthday.

Indeed I did, and managed to cast a vote for representatives for all three of the Republican, Democratic, and Green Parties.

The candidate voting seemed ridiculous on my ballot (there were even a few unchallenged Democrats), but the state referendums made for a more interesting election than 2004.

Well, being in a swing state (that's right, Minnesota isn't Blue through and through) I had to vote for the lesser of two evils in many cases on my ballot. Primarily though, I wanted to see our incumbant governor get ousted as his policies destroy the college funding and medical care of a great many friends of mine, and my own personal 'self-employed' would suffer greatly under his newly proposed legislation.
For those that are old and educated enough to understand this: I almost wrote in Paul Wellstone (R.I.P), but far too few voters remember his assassination.

Negative. Not old enough.
I'll turn 18 and register just in time for the presidential election of 2008. Oh goody.
[edit] no wait, I'll turn 18 and register just in time to be a year early for the presidential election of 2008. For some reason I thought it was 2007. [/edit]

Not being eligible to vote in American elections by virtue of being Canadian rather than by virtue of age, I decided the thing to do would be to skew this poll rather than ignoring it. I've just ruined the statistical sample, hahahaha!

I voted, but half of my votes were failures.

There was one race in which I probably would have voted for a Nazi candidate over the Democrat running for that particular office.

Hmmm... Apparently I'm not even 15 yet. Oh well, better luck for me in four ######ing years.
