So far the only elections i've participated in were either mock elections or for SMOB (Student Member of the Board, essentially a high school kid who in Montgomery County is the functional equivalent of Elanor Holmes Norton: a worthless elected representative who can't vote).
For mock schoolwide elections, I voted for Bob Dole in 1996, Harry Browne in 2000, and George W. Bush in 2004. 2 Republicans and a Libertarian. For SMOB, i vote for the girls, the interesting-sounding names (Asians and Jews generally fare best), and the ones who seem more literate in the provided 'here are the SMOB candidates and what they believe in' packet. Yeah, its a wasted vote, but the SMOB isn't worth a serious vote.
In 2000, the school I was at (Benjamin Banneker Middle School) split 66-29 Gore-Bush. 3% went for Nader, 1.5% for Browne, and 0.7% each for the Socialist and Constitution party candidates.
