Per Wikipedia (an all these sources): "In 1976, he voted for Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall in the presidential election; he later said that he viewed it as a way "of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change.""
1) BUT also from the above Wikipedia LINK, we know he was born and graduated HS in North Bergen, NJ and then attended Fordham till graduation in 1977.

If Brennan merely meant his vote as a protest of the two-party system, why didn't he choose any of the other NINE fringe party candidates rather than single out the Communist party of Gus Hall for his approval? Why didn't Jimmy Carter's & Stansfield Turner's CIA ask in 1980? Why has it not been asked of him since?Republican Gerald Ford Democratic Jimmy Carter Independent Eugene McCarthy Libertarian Roger MacBride American Independent Lester Maddox Socialist Labor Julius Levin Communist Gus Hall U.S. Labor Lyndon LaRouche Socialist Workers Peter Camejo People's Margaret Wright Prohibition Ben Bubar Socialist Frank Zeidler

Nice analytical commentary.
