The independent share stood at 34% in the latest update of Edison’s exit poll, compared with 34% for Republicans and 32% for Democrats.
Thanks guys! 😩
Like self identified vegetarians increasing big mac sales
So what this really tells us is that Republicans are staying solid at 1/3 the voting population, and fewer people are identifying as Democrats.
I stopped registering as a Democrat before the 2016 election. I heard the MAGA language then and refused to put myself on a registered enemies list. I vote D, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to just put a sign over my head that says “sic the hounds on me” when the time comes. :/
Same here. I have to think tho if they really wanted to could the find out who we voted for or does it just check you that voted and your ballot gets mixed in with everyone else’s?
You register with a party, but if you vote in person they just verify your name against the registration, you don’t sign your ballot.
If you mail in your ballot, you signed the outer envelope, not the ballot, so after verification of the signature hypothetically they discard the envelope and just run the ballot.
In any case I don’t think there is any record kept of who votes for what candidate.
What makes someone a democrat or independent. I vote pretty much party line democrat now but way way back in the past when republicans were not complete nutters I would vote all sorts of ways.
It’s a self identification exit poll. It simply asks what party you identify with.
