Why are people still voting for those who dropped out?

I could not help but notice that the results from the NC presidential primary had lots of votes for candidates who have dropped out. Why are people still voting for those who have quit? I have always wondered about that. I can see some being stubborn and doing a Write-In, because some people will just do that, if they feel strongly enough about a candidate, but voting for someone who has dropped out seems kind of pointless.

Have any of you ever voted for someone who has already dropped out? Do you mind sharing why? I'm curious about that.

Is there a "I voted on Super Tuesday" thread?

Or is this the right place to put one? I voted. I love getting it done ASAP. I was the third one to vote in the NC Democratic Primary this morning.
