Here’s a twist on the now-familiar story about candidates’ voting records: a story of two candidates who do vote. And regularly. Republican Gov. Butch Otter hasn’t missed a general election or primary since 2006, the oldest records available through the Ada County elections office. Democratic challenger A.J. Balukoff’s record is almost as flawless. He has voted in every primary and general election in Ada County since 2006, except for the May 2012 primary. Idaho Education News has asked the Balukoff campaign to explain this missing vote; the campaign did not have an immediate comment Tuesday. What’s more, it appears the candidates’ voting records go beyond basic voting in primaries and November elections/Kevin Richert, IdahoED NEWS. More here.

Question: The legal voting age was changed from 21 to 18 in July 1971, so I suppose that my first vote for president was for Richard M. Nixon's second term (which I'm told ended badly). I have voted in every presidential election -- and all the local ones, down to school district. How about you? Who was the first president that you voted for?
