Obviously, that means only small side offices have been ones you could vote other ways on, because when it comes to Gov, President and so on, I don't know in recent years if you have had any one sided votes at all.
I think there has been lots of close votes everywhere the last decade especially.
No, the offices in which I voted for minor-party candidates weren't small offices. In 2000, when I lived in Calif., I knew that Sen. Feinstein would be reelected, and the republican candidate, Congressman Tom Campbell, was too liberal for me. I voted for Diane Templin, of the American Independent Party. In 2004, when I was registered in Illinois, I thought that Bush was too liberal. I predicted that Kerry would win 57% of the vote in IL, and I voted for Michael Peroutka, of the Constitution Party. Kerry won 57% in IL.
