Important election for me, because it is the first time that I have voted.
I almost voted in 1980, but voting as an overseas American was so difficult at that time that I gave up. Since I have not been resident in the US since 1979, I didn't realize that I had the right to vote in American elections, so for over 30 years, didn't even consider trying to vote.
Then, a few weeks ago, I was told that I was eligible to vote. So I contacted the County Board of Elections back in North Carolina, and they emailed me a ballot.
My first instinct was to vote for Gary Johnson.
A couple of weeks ago, I took the test and it told me that I should vote for Gary Johnson:

I watched the Third Party Debate, which threw up doubts in my mind. I agreed with Gary Johnson more than any of the other candidates. At times he was truly great. And yet some of the things that he said really bugged me. Whereas, with Virgil Goode, even when I disagreed with him, it didn't really bug me. My head said "Gary Johnson", but my heart said "Virgil Goode". (Virgil Goode is the only recognized write-in candidate in NC. Other write-in votes are just "other" so writing in Dr. Paul would be electorally meaningless.)
I spent the last couple of days trying to make up mind.
In the end, I filled in my ballot and emailed it off.
A very unenthusiastic vote for GJ. My first vote ever in a presidential election.
