I've never voted party line. I'm from the south and we have a lot of RINOs and DINOs down here, so it's easier to vote for a candidate than for a party, at least on the local and state level.

I'm from the South as well, and up until the last few years I guess you could have called me a yellow dog Democrat. However, I don't think I've ever voted for a Dem candidate for Sheriff-it just worked out that either I knew the person running and liked what he stood for, or I simply didn't like the Dem candidate.
