Pew poll says only 4% of voters plan to split tickets.

Not surprising, but good validating info. Thanks

>> Pew poll says only 4% of voters plan to split tickets. <<

I was reviewing my intended ballot for Nov. 3rd the other day, and I came upon the realization that this is probably the most partisan ballot I've cast since I was old enough to vote.

I've always said I vote for the individual and not the party, and I have never voted a 'straight party' ticket, and I never will.

But it seems this election, the only non-Republicans I'm supporting are three Greens for Water Commissioner, and that's because they are the only opposition to the RAT slate (and the RATS are expected to win handily)

Voting GOP for President/Veep, US Senate, Congress, and every single Crook County office like States Attorney and Clerk of the Circuit Court.

I'm skipping my RAT State Rep., who is unopposed on the ballot. I miss the days when we had Lipinski-type pro-life and pro-traditional marriage RATS out here. ::sigh::

I guess voting for a decent Crook County judge or two would technically be voting for a RAT, since the RAT party appointed them to that seat, but the "RATS" I'm voting for are officially "Non-partisan" on the ballot, and the RAT machine now wants them out, so...

Curiously, if you drive down 111th street, by the dividing like between the southwest edge of the city (Mt. Greenwood neighborhood) and the suburbs like Alsip/Merrionette Park, there are a ton of houses with the split ticket yard signs of Fran Hurley (RAT State Rep.) and Dan Patlak (GOP Tax Commissioner).

I'm in Patlak's district but not Hurley's, so I'm not sure what to make of this baffling trend over there.
