I have been a registered voter since 1994.

I voted for Gov. Jane Hull in Arizona in 1998, a decision I almost immediately came to regret.

In 2000, I voted for the Republican for Travis County (TX) District Attorney. I would not vote for the Democratic DA, Ronnie Earle (who is now investigating Tom DeLay). I was furious at Earle for the way he railroaded a young girl into a bogus murder conviction on scant evidence, a forced confession and kangaroo court proceedings. Her name was LaCresha Murray, and all Austinities know about the case. The conviction was eventually tossed out, but Earle was reluctant to let go. I guess he wanted to show how "tough on crime" he could be. With great reluctance I voted for him this year, but if he fucks up the DeLay case, I'll never support him again.

In 2002 and 2004 I voted straight Democratic tickets.
