I voted straight Working Families Party today
I was gonna vote for the Greens in the senate races (NYS), but figured if Kristen and Chuck could secure the WFP line, then I would cast my vote for them.

The way I see it, if a Dem can't secure the WFP line (WFP is a "fusion" party - they cross endorse pro-worker democrats), then the Dem ain't really worth my vote. Almost always the case, imho..

1. Always good to vote your conscience!
As long as you research the candidates, voting straight D this year would have had me voting for a particularly disgusting individual on the local ballot.

2. So basically a lot of Democrats not endorsed by the WFP didn't get your vote.
And any republicans endorsed by the WFP did.
