Having immigrated from Russia & the Ukraine in two waves, the first in 1995 and 1997, few people in my family have voted. My paternal grandfather, a former CPSU member and a colonel in the Soviet Army who only narrowly avoided Afghanistan, cast his first and only vote in 2008, supporting John McCain for President and Jerrold Nadler for the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer in 2008. My mother also registered for the first time in 2008; she voted for McCain in 2008 and was then a Strickland/Portman voter in 2010 (voting against Dennis Kucinich, I forget the candidate names, both times).
