Split tickets - voters are not as partisan as I thought

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

I know that spilt tickets were common in the 1970-90s, but during the 2000s and especially recently, in statewide races for POTUS, Senator, Governor, etc the trend has been that a state goes for one party…..But this election there seems to be a lot of split ticket votes….here is another one in Nevada that I find most shocking, the Democratic nominee for AG is outperforming both the Governor and Senator

1. You might be on to something

Nevada not withstanding, you might be onto something with ticket splitting. In WI Evers won governship while Barnes didn't win. Of course, during the last 2-3 weeks before the election I saw lots of ads against Barnes but not Manu pro ads. I wonder if they ran out of money

2. Don't forget voting for Tammy and the Wanker

Split voting in WI is nothing new, Tammy wins over and over yet they also voted in Snotty Wanker. Mandela did better than I expected and I suspect if the WI Dem machine had decided to go negative on RoJo they might have pulled it off, but we're too damn nice sometimes. It wasn't like there wasn't/isn't enough negative about RoJo to make some decent ads pointing out even a fraction of his faults. I still am uncomfortable with how most all of Mandela's primary opponents dropped out around the same time, it smelled odd. Personally I think Sarah could have mopped the floor with RoJo.
