Scootermom: I Crossed Over To Vote

Scootermom: I generally vote Democratic, but I “crossed over” today. Why? Because it’s the only chance I have to vote for County Commissioners. I think as a resident, I should be able to cast my ballot for the best candidates. In other races, if I know there’s a Democrat I will support in the general, I leave my ballot blank. The Republicans are afraid that Dems cross over to mess with their elections, and get the weakest candidate to win. That’s not why I do it, and I’ve never talked to anyone who crosses over to intentionally get the weakest R’s on the November ballot. We cross over because we want the R’s that most closely represent out interests to win.

Question (for Demo crossover voters): Do you pick the weakest candidate on the Republican side or the one who most closely represents your view?
