I wonder whether you were in the room any of the times I told one of my 
favorite stories about voting, particularly relevant this election year, 
and forever relevant to the nature of teen boys.

A few years ago I was working Election Boards when a local boy wandered 
in expecting to vote for the first time.  No question of ID or voter 
fraud, we all knew the kid.  But he wasn't on the voter registration 
list that came from the County Clerk's office.  He insisted that he had 
registered, remembered going into town to do it, brought back a "piece 
of paper" that said he was registered (which he didn't have with him). 
The head Judge there even phoned the County Clerk's Office, who said he 
wasn't registered.  He got all hot and bothered, said he was going to go 
home and find that paper, and take it into town and wave it in their 
faces.  A few hours later, his stepmother came by to vote after she got 
off work, so we asked her whether he'd gotten it straightened out.  She 
said, "Yeah.  He was registered.  For the draft."
