I voted republican today
at least in one of the Wisconsin races. Our incumbent sheriff in Milwaukee county is a character named David Clarke. He runs as a democrat but is a disgusting little right winger in disguise. He's done a terrible job as sheriff. So, I voted for his republican opponent (whose name escapes me at the moment) who is an altogether more moderate and competent guy. I have been voting since 1968 and have occasionally voted for republicans , Chuck Percy and Ed Brooke for example. This is the first time in a long while I have done so. I feel very good about it though.

1. I got stuck with quite a few Repubs for offices like county clerk and assessor and such.

3. As long as you voted
And voted for Russ it's all good

People who don't vote because they're not happy irritate me -- unless they're republikkans who refuse to vote

13. There was one (R) with no opponent on my ballot...
I wrote in the name of the guy who owns the shop across the street from my apartment.

9. You voted for McKenna?
As in Wa state McKenna? Ouch.

I met him once. He had a relative in a Long-term-care facility I worked in. Pleasant enough, but I hate that he's AG.

8. I have voted for a few local repubs as well.
In my area,the County Commissioners and the like are pretty good about dropping the party when they are elected.

10. I hear ya. I had to vote for ONE Repub.
because I wanted to vote AGAINST the slimeball on the Dem ticket.
(Problem in these small towns is you know way too much about people, sometimes).

I voted "none of the above" for about 1/3 of the ticket.

Our Repug candidate legally changed his name to Dr. so he could run as Dr. Bentley.
True story.

12. I didn't vote for Duckhorn
I ended up voting for Clarke instead of Duckhorn....it pains me to say so because we all know the costume he wears. I am thoroughly disappointed that we didn't have the opportunity to vote for Moews in the general election.

17. For me it is a litmus test.
Republican next to your name always disqualifies a person from receiving my vote.

18. I said in another thread never EVER vote a repub for a local race. Roy Blunt started local
and that corrupt asshat is about to become MO's next Senator--he started off as a county clerk.

If I can't vote Dem or I don't like the Dem, then I just skip that choice.
