But, never for national offices. I live in a very red district in a very red state. Usually, at least a quarter of the state and local republican candidates unopposed. Frequently, their only opponent is a Libertarian or from some other party. If I run into that situation, I vote for the third party candidate, unless they're neo-nazis or some other racist party. Otherwise, I write in someone.
