Mother:

My dad was a Republican as far as I know. Only primary vote I know him to have cast is for Romney in '08. Little idea of his voting record pre-'08 but for my family's support for Bush (in '04) and his prioritization of right-to-life candidates. My mom has said that she may have voted for Clinton twice. Voted for Romney in probably both primaries, Republican in the general. Can't give you much more than that.

Its funny I read thru all these posts of how Mom and Dads voted in the past. I see all the 1980 Carter, 1984 Mondale, 1988 Dukakis, 1996 Dole votes, then realizing how badly they lost (particularly Mondale) with all these confirmed votes. I know this obviously is non scientific but its kinda funny none the less

You were a socialist at 11 years old? Not saying that's wrong but I didn't know anything about politics when I was 11.

Why did your father vote Nader (instead of Kerry) in 2004 and Paul in 2008?

Recent ones I knew for both of them. Dad I asked a few years back, some of them he wasn't sure, others I'm not sure IIRC. 


Dad
68- Humphrey
72- Nixon
76- Ford?
80- Carter?
84- Reagan
88- Bush?
92- Clinton..
96- Clinton
00- Gore
04 Bush
08- Obama
12 Obama


Mom, 72-88  really have no clue, proably a bit of a mix
92 Perot..
96 Clinton
00 Gore
04 Bush
08 Obama
12 Obama


In 92 I know one voted for Clinon the other for Perot, I think it was my dad for Clinton and Mom for Perot, but not certain.  Mom was actually a registered Republican in NY, but never knew how and considered herself an Independent, and was more apoltical.  Dad was registered Democrat, wasn't really aware of it either, considered himself an Independent but leaned slightly more Democratic.

My parents moved to S.C in 2009 (right outside of Charlotte) which doesn't have registration by PArty, but now are both pretty much solid Democrats.

My Dad:
1992 Clinton
2000 Bush
2004 Bush
2008 McCain
2012 Romney

By the time the primaries get to Kentucky they are irrelevant, my dad always chose the presumptive nominee.

My Mom:
1992 Clinton (almost voted Perot)
2000 Bush
2004 Nader
2008 McCain
2012 Romney

Independents can't vote in Kentucky primaries.

My grandmother voted GOP until Obama, as she thought her social security would be cut.

My great grandmother was born in 1912 voted GOP every election.  She couldn't vote in Presidential elections until 1964 (lived in DC), and voted GOP until at least the '90s.  She also had met Alf Landon on multiple occasions.

My mother's side is mostly Democratic.

Traditionally, we were a Republican family, but we were from the old Rockefeller Republican breeding.  Starting in the 90s, our family has veered more towards the Democratic Party.

My dad has always voted libertarian, no exception, since 1984 when he could first vote. My mom was exclusive republican since 1992 when she could up until 2016 when she voted for Sanders as a write in. She said that in 2020, if the democrats nominate somebody like Booker, she would vote for them, if not she would stay home.

I voted for Johnson in 2016, although with hindsight I would vote Trump, not because I get like a giant hard on for his presidency, but because I am so tired of the wasted vote mentality and I would never vote for Hillary, so he would be my default choice on a repeat 2016 case.

In 2012, there was a mock election in my history eighth grade class. I was the only person in my class who voted for Romney. Needless to say I was the only out republican in my senior year of high school

My sister:
2016 (her first and only Presidential election so far)-Clinton

My mom:
2016-Clinton
2012-Obama
2008-Obama
2004-Kerry
2000-Gore
I'm not sure how she voted in prior elections, most likely for the Democrat.

My dad:
2016-Trump (due to his idiotic notion that his business was more successful during the last Republican President)
2012-Obama, I think?
2008-Obama
I'm not sure how he voted in previous elections.

My grandma:
2016-Trump
2012-Romney
2008-McCain
2004-Bush
2000-Bush
Every previous election dating back to her first one was for the Democrat. I know that for a fact. She made a massive 180 in 2000 upon meeting her new boyfriend and becoming brainwashed as Fox News became all that they watched on television. It really was baffling how much she changed. She used to be a Democratic council member in my town and started mandatory recycling pickup and other environmental reforms. She was also a member of the League of Women Voters. Hell, she banned elephant imagery from the household, she was that much of a hardcore Democrat. She uses the excuse of "the party left me" but that is just not true when you go from pretty much being an eco-feminist to a Tea Party Trump cultist. She sold out for the sake of her relationship with her new boyfriend, it's as simple as that.

I went off a little there, my apologies. It was a bit cathartic, honestly.

My parents:

1984(?)-2008: The Republican
2012: McCain write-ins
2016: Johnson & Clinton

My grandparents on both sides of the family (or at least the ones who voted) voted Republican their entire lives, including 1964. My great-grandparents through my father's mother voted Republican, including 1932 and 1936, and their ancestors mostly voted Republican or Whig in every election back to the 1820s. Through my mother's mother, my ancestors were Irish Catholics, so they were definitely voting for Democrats. My mother's father's parents were non-citizens, and my father's father's ancestors were Pennsylvania Germans who probably didn't vote.

Dad (1964-)
2004: Kerry
2008: Obama
2012: Obama
2016: Clinton

Mom (1964-)
2004: Kerry
2008: Didn't vote
2012: Didn't vote
2016: Clinton

Not sure for before 2004. My dad voted pretty enthusiastically for Obama both times, however in 2016 was definitely lukewarm at best at voting for Clinton (he never would have voted for Trump.) My mom is not really political - she only voted for Kerry in 2004 because he was the Senator from our state. She actually supported Romney for governor in 2002 and supported him over Obama in 2012, although she didn't vote. Didn't feel like voting mattered but voted in 2016 for Hillary (likes her more than my dad does) in order to stop Trump.

Not sure before '88:

Mom:
1988: George H. W. Bush (R)
1992: Bill Clinton (D)
1996: Bill Clinton (D)
2000: Al Gore (D)
2004: John Kerry (D)
2008: Barack Obama (D), inc. Obama in the Democratic primary
2012: Barack Obama (D)
2016: Hillary Clinton (D), inc. Clinton in the Democratic primary

Dad: exactly the same, except he voted for Sanders in the Democratic primary

I'm pretty sure they were somewhat open to split-ticketing in the '80s and '90s, but post-2000 or so they have both been pretty strictly Democratic downballot, barring a couple minor exceptions (ex. I think my mom voted for Ruth Johnson for Michigan Secretary of State in 2010). They seem to become more liberal with every day that passes under the Trump administration.

1972: McGovern/McGovern

1996: Clinton
2000: Huh?/Gore

Paternal grandparents: Not really worth speculating. They are/were anti-gun, ant-free trade Republicans (who supported Bill Clinton in 1996) later in life, unsure prior to 1980. They're literally of Italian and Greek descent and 3rd and 2nd generation immigrants who lived most of their life in Brooklyn, NY. Their younger relatives who still are alive are wealthy white educated voters and many of whom still live in New York, so they are Democrats.

My mother (1988-present), paternal grandmother, and maternal grandmother (both 1968-present) have voted Dems their entire political lives.

My dad is an Independent voter with a Republican streak, he voted Bush 41-Clinton-Clinton-Bush 43-Bush 43-Obama-Romney-Colin Powell write-in

I dunno how my Ma voted, and she's in no condition to answer if asked. I can only confirm that she didn't vote in 2016 and these last primaries.

My grandma, as you'd expect for an Arizona Mormon, is a lifelong Republican, whom I suspect even went for Goldwater. I only know for sure of her votes for Bush Jr, McCain, Romney, and Trump.

My other grandparents all died before I became of that age.

My Dad (1972-Present) has voted straight D since McGovern...and I know he didn't like Jerry Brown in '92.

My Sis is also a Democrat, she was more enthused about Hillary than I was.

My late mother, before she passed in 2009, was according to my maternal uncle, a staunch Democrat. I remember her strong support for Barack Obama back in 2008; in fact, I was the one who dropped in her ballot at the DMV, a few months or so before the election. I don't know of her voting record before that, but I would assume that she voted straight Democratic in every presidential election that she could vote in (appx. 1980-2008).

My father seems to be a right-leaning independent, and I have heard rumors from someone in my family that he was a Republican at one point. I'm not exactly sure of that, and I know nothing of his voting record before 2012. In 2012, he did vote for Obama, but very reluctantly, and only because my stepmother begged him to. In 2016, however, he voted pretty enthusiastically for Donald Trump, and for some reason continues to support him.

My stepmother is a legal permanent resident from Jamaica, and as such, she cannot vote. However, she is a pretty staunch Democrat, ideologically speaking, absolutely loathes Trump, and wants to get her citizenship sorted out by 2020 so that she can vote against him. If she had been able to vote, she would have gone for Obama in 2012 and Clinton in 2016.

My maternal uncle is a pretty staunch Democrat as well. He never voted prior to 2008, but Obama's candidacy got him more interested. He voted for Obama twice, and for Clinton in 2016. My maternal aunt has no interest in politics whatsoever, and according to my uncle, has never cast a ballot in her life.

My paternal uncle and paternal step-aunt are both staunch Democrats as well, particularly the latter; I remember seeing a photograph of the Obamas and Democratic Party fliers that she had at their house. I don't know about my cousins, but they are generally liberal, and probably vote Democratic.

As for me, I am a definite independent. As I've stated before, I went for Evan McMullin in 2016, and will probably vote third-party again in 2020 unless if the Democratic candidate earns my vote. I've voted for Republicans, Democrats, and independents, for state and local races. In 2016, besides McMullin for President, I voted for Democrat Michael Bennet for Senate, Republicans for the state legislature and State Board of Education, and Libertarian Mike McRedmond for the House of Representatives. This year, I plan on voting for Republicans for state and local races in El Paso County, and Democrats for Governor and the U.S. House. I am currently a tossup on the other statewide races.
