If you want to get the fancy avatars  for the candidate you support in the primaries, like I have on the left, vote here:

https://uselectionatlas.org/MOCK/PRESIDENT/2016R/mock.php

https://uselectionatlas.org/MOCK/PRESIDENT/2016D/mock.php

And check the box where it says: "Treat my vote as an endorsement" or something. Otherwise it won't show up as an avatar.

You also need to log into your Atlas account first, not the Forum account. Just click "cast my ballot" on top of the pages.

If you support a different candidate afterwards can you switch candidates?

It's like an actual election, if your vote is cast you cannot change it anymore.
I mean like once the primaries are over and your candidate doesn't win does it go away?

You can always remove the banner in your Forum Profile.

Just click on "Forum Profile Information", scroll down to the boxes and deselect "show endorsements in my posts".

After the primaries, there will of course also be a general election mock election with new avatars to choose.

I would do this if it were possible to change them.

Why would you do this ? In a real election, you cannot change your vote either ...

But in a real election, the election isn't actually happening now; it's happening in a few months. I can't 100% guarantee that I'll be supporting the same candidate by the time my state's primary rolls around. It's almost getting a tattoo with a candidate's name on it.

This is especially true for people supporting minor candidates. Why would someone get a Christie avatar when there's a chance that Christie will drop out next week?

Nobody is telling you to vote right now. You can also wait until your primary is and only then vote here.

You can change your vote. If you have already voted, let's go to this link:
https://uselectionatlas.org/MOCK/PRESIDENT/2016R/mock.php?action=vote (it works only if you are logged with your Atlas account).

I guess that makes sense. Can I change it to the party nominee once the general rolls around?

I hope this will let me switch to Gary Johnson later on, if not I'll probably have a "Gary Johnson 2016" logo in my signature when the election rolls around.

He's technically not out yet, so I'll hope against probability and #StandWithRand.

No US voter's gone for Sanders yet? That's surprising.

Don't like any of the candidates, so I just voted to ensure I get a unique avatar.

Retarded question but do you have to pay for a regular atlas account and not the forum account?

Is there a way to go back and change your endorsement logo?

Does Rand Paul not have a color assigned to him?

This didn't work for me, because I didn't receive the enable key.

It isn't showing up on the map, as far as I can tell.
