I am ordinarily a straight Republican vote, but this time I am withholding my vote for two candidates who saw fit to accept teacher's union money. It won't matter, they'll still get elected, but not with my vote. I have written to them both - incumbents - to at least tell them I'm doing this as the results won't really matter. But if more voters would voice their gripes maybe they'll get the message.
“Tomorrow, I am doing something unusual - I’m voting for the Republican candidates on my ballot. Normally, I vote for the Libertarians, in order to send a message to those that look at such things as to which way I want the country to go. This time around, the “both stink, merely in different ways” view isn’t quite right. I don’t expect much of the GOP - it has failed to deliver so many times in the past that something about same thing different results - but the Democrats have truly gone off the rails, and the best way to tell them so is to take away their power. What happens afterward is secondary to making sure they understand how wrong they got things.“
I had to hold my nose and squint to vote for a few on my Texas ballot, especially the execrable Dan Patrick, with whose hand I would not shake if offered. I detest brother trump, but Hillary was never going to happen for me. Thanks Peter, for all you do, and Lemon Lime Alka Seltzer is a great heartburn remedy. Here's hoping!

I tend to vote libertarian, but Maggie Hassan only obe by a thousand votes last time, so every vote counts.
