I have a friend who changed her support over the course of the election from Carly Fiorina to Ted Cruz to Hillary Clinton. Knowing her, this kind of makes sense, but it seems like it's a pretty rare hierarchy of candidates to support. Do you know anybody who had weird allegiance changes over the course of this election?

My older brother was a libertarian who supported Rand Paul. He then started backing Trump about one or two months after he announced his candidacy and hasn't let up since.

I went from Jim Hedges to Gary Johnson to Bradford Lyttle.  It was over a fairly short time period, though.  By around May it was clear that the major party choices were going to be Clinton and Trump, so I started researching alternatives.  I settled upon Lyttle by around the first of September.

I know a Paul>Christie>Kasich>Rubio>Johnson>McMullin voter. Paul>Christie is probably the strangest thing on there.
