How partisan are you in your voting?

[Mr. Illini]

I'm #2.

[Goldwater]

I vary between 1 and 2, although I won't vote in races where I can't find much information about any of the candidate.

[Paul Kemp]

I used to vote across party lines often (although I was originally registered as GOP and then unaffiliated so take that as you will...) but I'm (probably) never voting for any one who identifies themselves as a Republican after the past six years.

I will be voting for at least one Green candidate this fall though.

[Mr. Smith]

What Goldwater said, if the Dem's a conservative or unappealing and is rest assured victory anyway, I vote for the Green or Peace and Freedom candidates. Not afraid to go GOP if I like that candidate well enough (such as Abel Maldonado against Gavin Newsom or Tom Campbell against Feinstein, Nelson Rockefeller against LBJ)...but ever since the Reagnites took over,that's pretty much out the question.

But since those are usually not the case, I go straight Dem the whole way.

[dead0man]

I'll vote Libertarian when available (unless the person is the truther/Alex Jones/afraid of fluoride type), if not, I'll vote for whichever candidate is better, whether Dem, Pub, Green, Constitution or indy....I've voted for them all.

[Lief 🗽]

I vote for Greens and other independents from time to time (even a few libertarians when I voted in Texas), but I would of course never vote for a Republican under any circumstances.

[they don't love you like i love you]

I've voted all D in every election I've ever voted in aside from a few joke candidates in some city elections.

[IceSpear]

For federal and statewide elections, almost always straight D. For local elections I'm more flexible.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

#3 is how I plan on voting.

[TNF]

I don't plan on ever voting Republican or Democratic ever again, so I'll continue to vote for left-wing third party candidates and independents when they are running for an office, and not voting when they are not.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Option 1, like any reasonable person.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Plan on voting straight Democrat this year.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I never vote Republican, but I don't always vote Democratic. I have voted for at least one successful Green party candidate. Local races are non-partisan in California, anyways. I purposefully abstained in the November 2012 California Senate race, lacking any sort of reasonable choice.

[Phony Moderate]

I've been voting since 2012 and so far I've voted Labour, Green, TUSC and independent. So option three it is.

[ElectionsGuy]

Not partisan. I will (in the future) vote either R, D, or Lib depending on the candidates and the race itself.

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

From an Australian point of view, I normally put the Liberals first, although in the Senate, do vote below the line, and do not give the Liberal candidates the entirety of my Top 5 preferences, I give those to FF, LDP, CDP, National, Shooters & Fishers, depending on the candidates.

If Malcolm Turnbull becomes Liberal leader, I'm definitely giving a minor right-wing party my first preference.

[Rockefeller GOP]

I almost always vote straight ticket, but I'd feel very differently if I didn't live here and the parties were different.  I can think of more than a few scenarios where I'd cross party lines (say, Andrew Cuomo vs. Rick Santorum in the POTUS election), but I've simply never encountered them.  Though I'm rather passionate about changing the party from within, I usually vote my fiscal views.

[Mr. Illini]

I don't plan on ever voting Republican or Democratic ever again, so I'll continue to vote for left-wing third party candidates and independents when they are running for an office, and not voting when they are not.

So do you plan on not voting for any of the up-ballot races in Illinois this year then since Green was kept off the ballot?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I don't vote by party at all.......just the person

Write-ins are an option here, so I would write that candidate in.

[RI]

I always vote based on the individual, but my ballots tend to be pretty split with perhaps a slight Dem lean. It's easier for Republicans to piss me off than Democrats, I guess, especially in this state.

[traininthedistance]

100 percent partisan Dem at the federal level, barring weird tactical situations like an Orman or a Murkowski that have never come up where I've lived.

At the state level I'll still basically never vote for Republicans, but the Dems are both dominant enough and sh*tty enough that third-party protest votes are acceptable, and sometimes even necessary.  (Hi, Cuomo!  Hi Simcha!  Eff you too!)

The nature of coalitions in local politics here are sufficiently different from higher levels that partisan affiliation plays less of a role in my choices.  Obviously as a matter of course I'm still mostly voting Dem; but the real action is in the primaries instead, and I can imagine situations where an R after one's name is not an automatic disqualification.  Sue me, but I do think Bloomberg did a lot of good things.

[New_Conservative]

It's hard to be partisan in Massachusetts if you are a Republican because there are hardly any candidates on the ballot that are not Democrat.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I vote for the people, not the party, but most of the people I vote for save for Soil and Water Board and State Senate are Republicans .

[Flake]

Never intentionally straight ticker. If I do, I still don't click the straight ticket button. Every race is its own thing.

There's a straight ticket option?

Anyway, I support mostly Democrats and Greens with the occasional Libertarian and the once in a blue moon Republican.

So option three.
