Democrats have a voting problem. If you are a Democrat, listen up.
When voting, Democrats select the first few important candidates at the top of the ticket then stop. More often then not, Democrats do not vote consistently down the entire ballot.
I myself have been guilty of this. I don’t know the candidate, and I stop voting. Republicans usually vote down the entire ticket – for Republicans, whether they know the candidate or not.
This is a deadly habit in that often Democrats down ticket do not get elected. Remember that most Democrats running have Democratic values and are more in line with your beliefs than the other party.
My recommendation: If you are a Democrat, vote Democratic down the entire ballot. Chances are good that your beliefs will be better served if the Democrats win all seats.
