Far too many. In my area I know a lot of old democrat families who are very conservative but still vote party line though they openly admit that they do not believe in the liberal agenda of the modern left. They say that it is still their party. I know the same is true for some republicans though republicans are much quicker to jump off the ship and are typically less encumbered by the party designation. I vote for people not party. Locally I vote for a number of conservative democrats, statewide and nationally they are all very left wing so I vote republican or quite often leave a blank.

I've done this for the local judges sometimes, but usually I take a list of bar association recommended candidates with me to the voting booth.
Pulling or punching a straight ticket is the core definition for "party loyalist".

Some people don't think past the party affiliation. This is how we get so many bad entrenched politicians. I have registered as "decline to state" because both parties disappoint me. That means in a primary, I can walk in and pick any ballot I want. It also means that my elected officials can't count on my vote unless they do something that makes me want to vote for them.

I don't vote party I vote by the person. Rarely have I voted a straight ticket. Generally there areat least a few from another party that I vote for.

with the way the dems have been taking a hard left for some time now, i have no choice but to punch straight republican. once the dems return to the great party it once was and put forth good people with good ideas and not fantasy ideals i'll consider otherwise.

During the primary election it's ALWAYS the big R... but which one? During the general, I vote for the person who comes the closest to my ideology.
Back atcha, Chi!

That's none of your business. People may vote the way they wished and should not be questioned or criticized about it in any way.

I've never punched anyone while voting.

I don't ever vote. I think the person who asks the question should just decide.
