I vote straight Democratic almost all the time, even for the Ohio offices that are non-partisan.
There are a few exceptions to that though if the Democrat is too conservative for me personally or is flat-out terrible in some other way in which case I would vote third party. I've been voting since 2012 and I have yet to worry about any of that.
Other times, but also very rare, I might vote for an Ohio Republican for office. He/she has to be relatively moderate, is likable/has a good record to run on, and/or I somehow know them on a closer level.
For examples, had Todd Portune ran in the Democratic primary and beaten FitzGerald, I would have voted Green since Portune's a DINO. In the other case, Dave Yost, our Republican Auditor, would be the first Republican I would have ever voted for. He's stood up against the Ohio GOP on a variety of occasions such as on JobsOhio/charter schools, has an awesome personality etc., but I have yet to make a decision on whether I'll vote for him or Carney (D) or not.
Other than that, I'm voting completely Democratic this election. For races with unopposed Republicans and no write-in options (ex. Robert McClelland), I'm leaving it blank.
