Wow. That's as American as....well...Nazi Germany.

Yep. Being informed and voting for someone based on thier policies, not political affiliation or blind guessing by (D) or (R) is just so...so......horrible!

Yeah... I don't get techs response. Obviously based on his posts, he's a hardcore party-line democrat. :shudders:

I hate party-line voting. While I tend to vote Republican, I have and still do vote for some democrats - the US House Representative for my district is democrat, has been in it forever, and I've always voted for her - she represents our district and state very well.
I'm very Moderate, with a slight dip into Libertarian waters, and vote according to the person, not the party.

Party-line voting is what has ruined this country, in general, people rarely educate themselves on the issues those they vote for actually stand by and have voted for during their stay in government, and those people continue to stick to their party, with no regards to how those people have/will perform. It's sickening that people are so blind to vote only for a party, and is why the two-party system is such bullshit because it helps create that problem.

I live in NC, it was pretty obvious that the straight ticket vote doesn't count for president. It said it on the ballot, we were warned outside the polls and giving instructions on it before we voted. Also the Presidential vote came first on the ballot, then the straight ticket instructions, then the straight ticket vote area, then the rest of the ballot.

i can't believe that these sort of problems are allowed to exist.

Glad to hear it's being addressed.

I don't approve of straight ticket voting either, but like I said earlier, it's not for us to decide how other people choose to vote. Thankfully, I live in a state that doesn't have a straight ticket voting option.
