I voted for Bush W. in '04, Obama in '08, and Johnson both in '12 and '16.

I knew a Florida 2000 Nader voter who has since voted Democratic.

I know of someone who opposes spaying/neutering dogs/cats but volunteers at an abortion clinic.

I knew the president of College Democrats at N.C. State (my alma mater) who openly considered voting for Bush in 2000 (not sure how he actually voted).

I knew a gay man who votes Republican even though his partner is an immigrant trying to remain in the U.S.
Was that person a Dem before voting for Nader in 2000?

She was 20 years old in 2000 and I don't know how she voted in 1998.
Oh she was really young in 2000.

My mom voted Perot (I think), Dole, Bush, Kerry, McCain, Romney & Clinton, thus finally breaking the curse of always voting for candidates who lost the popular vote (but definitely establishing a new trend of voting for the candidate who loses the presidency).

To make things weirder, she's basically a straight-ticket Dem voter for all non-presidential elections (but like many around here, votes in GOP primaries because that's where the action is).
Just call your mom anti-incumbent in Presidential Elections!
