I'm one of those that really dislikes straight ticket voting, because in my hometown I guy ran for an office that wasn't even used (I believe constable) on the promise of not collecting his salary and doing exactly nothing.
Once he was elected, he started happily picking up his tax payer provided check. And because he had an R by his name, straight ticket voters rewarded him with another term to steal more money for doing nothing.
I researched who was running as best I could so I wouldn't be rewarding that type of behavior, and if it was between a D and an R, went R. If it was between a republican and libertarian only, I went libertarian.
Always default to freedom.
