I have voted Democrat on occasion in various elections, and also for Green Party candidates. I have voted for Democratic-Socialists, and I have written in the name of candidates. One year I wrote in Marcus Garvey for President. Due to the fact that where I have lived (and voted) most of the last 30–40 years has been in a Blue-Blue state, my vote for President means nothing. However, my vote in down ballot races and on referendums has had meaning. I also voted in Michigan a few times when I lived there once I totally transferred my residency from Maryland and no longer owned property.
