I made up for your foolishness. 1984 was my first vote. I was in college and didn’t know about absentee voting. I told my instructors I wasn’t going to be in class on Tuesday so I could go home and vote.
I too had a female interest and asked if she wanted to go for a quick road trip. She did.
I drove 400 miles to vote for Ronald Reagan and am coming up on 33 years of being married to the girl.
Good for you guys.
