Damon: I've never voted

Shame-faced Matt Damon has confessed he has never voted, even though best pal Ben Affleck is a leading celebrity Democrat.

While Affleck makes plans to hit the campaign trail with Democrat presidential hopeful John Kerry, Damon reveals he always felt his vote meant nothing.

The actor says: "My reasoning has always been - and this is the worst thing to say - that because I'm from Massachusetts, everyone I would have ever voted for didn't need my vote.

"That's changing now because of where we're going in this country."

Damon insists he'll be the among the first Bostonians registering to vote in November.

He adds: "I'll vote for John Kerry. The last election I had this feeling everyone was just going toward the middle and it's the same thing no matter what, and it turned out to be the most politically critical moment in my lifetime."
