I always vote against the much bigger evil. Because writing in a vote for someone who has no chance to win makes me irrelevant. I never want to be irrelevant. I want to make as much difference as I can.
If evils like socialized medicine, gay marriage, forcing youth organizations for boys to allow homosexual leaders are going to be enacted by either major party I will pass.
I believe that when I stand before God I will be held accountable for what I supported. Not for whether or not what I supported prevailed. That judgment will have eternal consequence for me. Who won or lost will have temporary consequences for me.
It’s not a salvation issue, but nonetheless our decisions here have consequences that will follow us later.
As a student of history, I realize chances are things may go to hell no matter what I may do. Obedience to God in this is easier to prioritize when I don’t assume that everything can be fixed at the ballot box.
