    Think about your local area, you don’t think there is anyone who would just box in the first name because they didn’t recognize either names and just want to get it over with?

    Some states even have a set of boxes for straight ticket voting so you don’t even have to know the name of who you’re voting for which really tilts local elections.

      I guess I don’t vote that way so I didn’t understand that people actually do. I just leave it blank when I don’t know. I thought that was what most people did. I guess not. I was shown otherwise.

        It’s surprising how stupid we are and also amazing that we haven’t already extinct ourselves.

        I don’t mean you for not knowing this random thing I mean all of us for doing dumb shit like this
