    Voting, a question

    how many you vote, and when you do vote, vote for the entire ticket?

    as in,

    did you vote Trump\Biden\other
    and not fill in on the ballot for anything else?


    or

    Trump\Biden
    Pence\Harris
    Senator
    Congress
    local stuff

    as in fill in or vote for options on the entire ticket?


    eta a poll, and the results are not public, so folks cannot see who voted yes or no
    14
    Yes
    0%
    1
    No
    0%
    13

    The poll is expired.

        Life long Independent and always vote the entire ballot ..... never voted a straight ticket in my life .

        Straight ticket is the same as being unable to think for oneself. Loyal to a Party ...or a Country ? .... hard to be both if you follow blindly a party line.

            I vote for the person not party. That being said, I usually vote mostly Republican. It is almost like, when in doubt vote Republican. To get my vote there are things you must be for. Like pro gun ( pro 2nd amendment), Pro Life etc., currently it is hard for a Democrat's to do that.

              Being loyal to MY party is being loyal to the country. Today's Dems (wasn't always that way) are the intractable enemies of this country's history, culture, traditions.

                I recall there was a little interlude between 1861 and 1865 when they weren't all that loyal.

                  Let's not confuse Dems of the distant past with the radical ideologues of today; in fact most of them now call themselves Progressives. Southern Dems of 1861 were loyal to their OWN country!

                      Straight ticket voting (as in hit the straight ticket button and walk out) is now illegal (and impossible) in Texas. I have always gone down and clicked every box so that dosen't apply to me. This means all Republican, at least for the last 35 years or so. I have voted for two Dems., both for Governor in Texas. Mark White because of his plan to revamp the schools, and "Ma Richards" because Clayton Williams was just too incompetent for words and I figured she couldn't do that much damage in a state that was as right wing as Texas in the 1980s. Fortunately I was right about that.

                        And they fought to keep Blacks in slavery -- the same thing modern Democrats do.

                            so,

                            37 people read this poll/thread, and 14 voted,

                            all but one voted the entire ticket,



                            yet, in some states, ballots were found that voted only for president,



                            seems odd, statistically , does it not?

                              Not really. My better half only voted for POTUS and Senate races. Our ballot had about 75 judges to bubble in.
