How many of you voted for all Democrats?

[leftofthedial]

Poll question: How many of you voted for all Democrats?

I know that voting a "straight ticket" on some of the repuke election fraud, er, voting machines is a problem, but whether you used the straight-ticket button or manually voted for all Democrats, did you end up voting a straight ticket?

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Voted for all Democrats except I voted for the Green Party candidate running against my Repub

Congress critter. No Democrat on the ballot this year to oppose the guy.

[leftofthedial]

5. down-ballot Greens

are an acceptable "transgression."

:thumbsup:

[TahitiNut]

2. Democrats and Greens ... no Fascists.

:shrug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I, too, try to avoid those fascists. LOL

[onehandle]

3. Straight Democratic since 1980. nt

[leftofthedial]

6. I have voted for every Democrat on every ballot

since 1974.

:thumbsup:

[guitar man]

4. straight democratic here

not one repuke, independent or otherwise on my ballot. :hi:

[leftofthedial]

8. good work

Here's hoping the count is legit.

[CatholicEdHead]

7. Straight DFL but I did consider an Indepence Party canidiate

[Sisaruus]

9. Had to.

They were, by far, the best candidates.

[ieoeja]

10. Not an American hating moron, but I did vote for one Republican.

Maybe this is just an Illinois thing. Once in awhile a real whackjob sneaks through the Democratic primary. Last time an Adlai Stevenson (III?) was nominated governor we discovered a La Rouchian won the Democratic nomination for Lt Governor. Stevenson actually spent the general election campaigning for his Republican opponent as a result.

This year we have one nutjob for one minor office. So I voted for a Republican in that race.

And for US House of Representatives I voted for the Green Party candidate because I happen to have that slimy piece of shit Rahm Emmanuel as my representative. After his assistance in trying to oust Dean and shutdown the 50-State Strategy AFTER IT WORKED SO WELL LAST ELECTION, I wouldn't vote for that man if he was running against a Bush.

[leftofthedial]

15. I'll forgive you for voting for the Green candidate

but the repuke . . .

I dunno.

[Greyhound]

59. I'm with you on that one, I'd vote for a flaming cat turd before I'd vote for Emmanuel. n/t

[quispquake]

11. My own weird little story...

I voted straight Dem, EXCEPT for registrar of Probate, in which only a Republican was listed...I didn't want to leave it unchecked (don't need any 'overzealot McCain supporter' throwing my ballot out, so I checked "Other", and put my Mother In Law's name in (she was NOT too happy with me about it...hehe...)

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. I have written my dad in on more than one occasion. :^D

[leftofthedial]

18. that's cool

the Mother-in-law Party--helping to keep America safe from repukes since 1880.

[OnyxCollie]

12. Manually voted all Dems on an absentee ballot. nt

[Blue Diadem]

13. I won't be voting for another hour or so.

I will be voting for all Dems with the exception of one Independent. This is local and is really important. He's running as an Indy but has previously declared himself as a Repub. We need him, no Dem is running and the Republican he'll be replacing has had power issues and needs to go. We have local R's running unopposed and I skip over them.

[AndyA]

17. I just cannot bring myself to vote for a Republican.

I don't care how nice they are, I just cannot vote for them. The fact that they stand by their party offsets anything good they could possibly do.

Dems all the way!

[leftofthedial]

21. anyone who still identifies as repuke is either a criminal or mentally incompetent

that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

[question everything]

19. Other. I probably voted for a Republican for City Council where the offices

are supposed to be non-partisan.

This is a Republican community - but we are improving - so this is what I was faced.

And I have no idea about judges and other county offices which are non-partisan.

[leftofthedial]

23. sadly, when it comes to repukes, there is no such thing as nonpartisan

I wouldn't vote for a repuke for dogcatcher.

[question everything]

52. The lesser of several evils

Too many put their church affiliations and membership in religious organizations in their bios. Someone who runs for a soil and water supervisor started his goal by stating his belief that a marriage is between a man and a woman..

So if voting for someone else for that post, even if the other may be a Republican, is the least I can do to keep these nuts out.

[RB TexLa]

20. Obama and Landrieu

[MercutioATC]

22. I didn't vote for any Repubs, but I didn't vote for one Dem Judge.

He handled my divorce 10 years ago and he's an idiot. I never vote for him.

...he was running unopposed, so I don't think it'll make any difference...

[OhioChick]

24. Straight ticket here. n/t

[Buzz Clik]

25. I will not vote for an idiot regardless of party affiliation.

I'll let it go at that.

[stillcool]

26. I know I voted for one...

he's been a State Senator for a long time now running unopposed, and I didn't want to leave any dots unconnected.

[GetTheRightVote]

27. A lot of Dems ovals, it was fun to color for this reason

:bounce:

[rcrush]

28. Texas- Voted Obama and Noriega

For the Judges and Constables I voted Libertarian.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. I haven't voted yet. I am not sure If I will vote Dem for Senate. #1 Allen

is losing to Collins anyway and #2 the Dems in this state really screwed over Herb Hoffman. I detest people playing fast and loose with democracy.

[magellan]

30. Darn, I wish I'd seen

...the "I voted in Florida, Ohio or Georgia, so there's no telling *who* I voted for" before selecting all Dem. I gave the opti-scan machine a hard look before feeding my ballots into it. Thing looked just like a trash bin and from what I know about them, can treat votes as if it were just that.

[leftofthedial]

38. in any state, county or other jurisdiction with a repuke in charge of elections,

there has been and/or will be election fraud.

[AnneD]

31. I voted all Dem except for 2 GOP judges.....

they were very helpful to our DEM mayor during hurricane Ike-they may be the only GOP that survives here. They were the only ones that put people ahead of their ideology. Sorry but to cast them out would make me as bad as straight ticket GOP.

[cali]

32. In VT we have a viable Progressive Party and I voted for the Prog candidate for guv

[teamster633]

33. I voted all Dem...

...but I had to work at it. Up here in NH they removed the straight ticket option which had been a friend for so many years. Oh well, the result is the same.

[aroach]

34. No straight tickets in MO

I did vote for one Libertarian. Of course, there was no Dem running in that race.

[MilesColtrane]

35. All Dems except for two Libertarian state judges.

[kentauros]

40. Same here

The races here were between Libertarians and Republicans only, so "anything but republican" :D

[charlie]

45. Me three

A Libertarian judge got my vote. Today was all about nuking Republicans.

[Strawman]

36. I voted for one Republican way down the ballot

For a trustee position at one of our universities. Liked her answers at the League of Women Voters Forum, liked that the Free Press endorsed her, think she could be an asset to the university.

[leftofthedial]

51. I guess you'll just have to live with that.

If you can...

[Hell Hath No Fury]

37. A mixed group of Dems, Greens, and Indies for me.

I tend to vote Big D in the national race, but spread the love for my local races.

[Ganja Ninja]

39. I wrote in my own name for county commissioner.

There was only a republican running unopposed so I decided I would be the better choice.

[Tesha]

49. Another good reason to write yourself in somewhere...

...is that if the ballots are recounted, you can look for your own
ballot to know that it was counted. I usually find some insignificant
race in which to do this; this time, I contended for the third state
rep slot on an otherwise-unfilled Democratic slate, but I've been
known to run for Sheriff, Registrar of Probate, and what-have-you.

Tesha

[ThomWV]

41. Every Democrat except Jay Rockefeller - remember FISA? Fuck him.

[depakid]

42. Voted for the Green over Congressman David Wu

because, among other things, he looked me right in the eyes and lied to me in person about the provisions of the bankruptcy bill that he supported (claiming, among other things that it protected people who were in deep due to medical debt!).

That was on odd race this year. The Republicans basically kicked their candidate out of the party for backing Obama. Hopefully, Wu will do something stupid and get a primary challenger to take him down. Otherwise, I'll be encouraging foilks to vote for one of his opponents again.

[soleiri]

43. All Dems here, hopefully

The local offices are nonpartisan, so I had to track down the party affiliation.
However, I found out that the two city councilwomen up for reelection are part of “The Chaffey Community Republican Women” organization.
Yes, of the Obama bucks fame. :puke:
Although they will probably win, I will take great pride in voting against them.
One thing Sarah Palin has taught me, stop them while they are local.

[GodlessBiker]

44. Voted for Barack under Dem line, but all other candidates under "Working Families" line.

The Working Family candidates were the same as the Democratic candidates.

[Dukkha]

46. If a Repub ran unopposed I didn't vote at all

so straight Dem all the way

[OHDEM]

47. Hubby and I voted straight Democrat ticket.

We mailed in our ballots a couple of weeks ago. Even looked up the judges to see who was a Democrat.

Hubby is a reformed Republican who left the party when Dubya was nominated!

[last_texas_dem]

48. Pretty much

Voted for Democrats, one Libertarian running against a Repug and no Dem, and wrote in one candidate running against a Repug and a Libertarian who sounded like a Dem. I did leave blank two races for unopposed Repugs and two races for unopposed local DINOs whom I don't care for...

[Alexander]

50. All D, voted Libertarian when a D wasn't running, wrote myself in when R unopposed.

[leftofthedial]

53. Ewww! Libertarian!

Cooties!

[Alexander]

76. I'd rather have a Libertarian in office than a Republican.

At least I'll agree with some of their policies.

[mdmc]

54. I vote for the best person for the job

I would never vote for an incompetent dem just cause of their party affiliation.

[Mudoria]

55. All Dem other than Governor

voted for McCrory.

[RedLetterRev]

79. McCrory??? Bush Lite?

:wtf:

I live in the country. No way in HELL would I vote for Mr Repuke BushClone Annexes Everything.

Just sayin'. That's just me.

[nickgutierrez]

56. Every one that was there.

I had to write in one candidate, for public defender, and do some independent research on the judges, but every Democrat on the ticket, I voted for.

[closeupready]

57. I did, in New York, but

it's important to point out that there weren't too many challengers to the Democratic ticket, and many of the Democratic candidates were running as the Republican candidate, as well (don't ask, I also have no idea how that works, or how that happens). So I just checked off Democratic for every single race. I'm happy with that. :)

[Greyhound]

58. 1 3rd party and 1 write in. n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

60. I dislike my state rep, so I didn't vote at all in that race

(he was running unopposed anyway). He might as well be a Republican as far as I'm concerned. And he's an idiot. Disappointing not to have someone good to support. State senator had only a Republican, running unopposed! (Again, no vote from me).

[Joe the Liberal]

61. I voted for.....

Every single Dem on the ballot, it was mail in ballot too.

[slackmaster]

62. Define me as a moron who hates amurika at your own risk

I always vote for the person, not the party.

If all other things were absolutely equal I would choose the Democrat over anyone else, but that has never happened in the 32 years I have been a voter.

BTW, I have never failed to vote in any local, state, or federal election.

[florida08]

63. am in the chad state

But no electronic or punch ballots this time. Voted for one repuke but only because he writes me back everytime I write him and he always sends me a heads up when he's going to be in the area holding meetings. He is the house and he voted against the bailout. He earned my vote.

[Political Tiger]

64. I always vote straight Democratic

Although for a couple of local offices I vote Libertarian because no Demo was running. I can't imagine vote for a Repuke!

[BoneDaddy]

65. I will vote straight D...

just waiting for my kindergartener to come home so he can press Barack Obama in the polling booth. This way he can tell his grandkids that he actually pushed the vote.

[Cabcere]

66. We had excellent Dem candidates at all levels of the ticket

so I voted straight D. :) The congressman I voted for probably won't make it - he's running against a long-established moderate R, but I like what I've heard from him and so he got my vote. We've got two former governors running for the Senate seat - the Democratic candidate is generally very popular and well-respected even in the reddest areas of the state (where I live), mostly because of the way he was able to clean up the huge economic mess his Republican opponent left us in. I guess we'll see how that all turns out, though. :hi: Peace!

[Jed Dilligan]

67. Straight D this time

We had two Democrats running for mayor and I voted for the one with the party endorsement.

[W_HAMILTON]

68. I voted mostly Democratic

I went through and selected all the Democratic candidates individually.

There were some races with only Republicans running, and the only other option was Write-In. I wasn't sure how that worked on an electronic voting machine, so I just skipped those races.

There was one race where only one person was running, and "Petition" was listed under his name. I voted for him. If I see him later on with a Republican under his name, I'll vote him out, though ;)

[geomon666]

69. I voted all republican and communist for president.

....nah I'm kidding. I would never vote for the lizard people.

[hamsterjill]

70. Dems and Independents

I voted for the Democratic candidate in any race where there was a Democratic candidate.

In Texas, there are races where there is only a Republican choice. In those cases, I did not vote for the Republican candidate.

In any instances where there was a Republican candidate, no Democratic candidate, but another choice, I voted for the third choice.

Anything BUT Republican.

[Kurovski]

71. It's a "throw the bums out" kind of year.

I had a paper ballot (wheee!) and I blackened the circle next to every Dem. Even for coroner!

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

72. I voted green twice this time because

the two Dem's on the ballot voted 75% of the time with gwb.

[blue_onyx]

73. I don't like my state congressman

He's the only Dem I didn't vote for this time. He will win since he has no Republican opponent...I just didn't want to vote for him.

[FamousMortimer]

74. All but one

I voted all Dems but one where I voted libertarian. If the Dem is the best person they get my vote. Every once in awhile a sleazeball gets through though and I won't vote for them just because they have a D by the name.

[RedLetterRev]

75. NC here

I voted straight Dem on the 16th of October and have been smiling like Mona Lisa ever since :)

[leftofthedial]

77. that's when I voted too

and for every Democrat I could find.

[KSDiva]

78. I voted for a few pukes for District Judge, etc

We have some good 'pukes here in Kansas. Old-school conservatives, not neo-con idiots. Several of them definitely deserved my vote.

But it was with GREAT pleasure that I voted against Tiahrt and Robertson. AHHHHH....

[QueenOfCalifornia]

80. Straight

Dem ticket.

Even though I have my doubts about a couple of them. :)
