That belief, plus the fact that my individual vote didn't matter, led me to view voting as a waste of time and effort. I didn't even register because I thought it was so useless.
I just registered to vote, and my state (KY) makes you pick a party (or independent). I registered Democrat. Clearly I was wrong about a lot of things.
