Does anyone think or know if when we vote in a Presidential election that data is compiled that indicates if you voted for a Presidential candidate that is not running for the party you're registered with? I've done that many times regardless of what party I was registered with/as but never have thought of asking if that information is actually collected, compiled or used as an actual indicator if folks are voting outside their own party. In other words, voting trends.

Thanks for providing that informative link, but when I searched that site, I couldn't find anything specifically about which states allowed or didn't allow write-in voting. Maybe it's in there somewhere, but it was far from immediately apparent to me. I found this link more useful in that regard.
Different states have different rules for write-in candidates, but they can be divided into three broad categories. Nine states—Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina and South Dakota—won’t accept any write-ins at all.
Then there’s a handful of states, including Ayotte’s New Hampshire, that have no requirements for write-in candidates. So all write-in votes are counted, whoever they’re cast for.
Most states, including Portman’s Ohio, Gardner's Colorado, and McCain’s Arizona, are in the middle: They accept write-in candidates, but require them to file paperwork ahead of time for their votes to be counted.
In many states, the deadline to file paperwork has already passed. Perhaps needless to say, neither Pence nor Graham has filed to be a write-in candidate anywhere.
Here’s a useful rundown of state requirements for write-in candidates, compiled by the site Ballotpedia.
And there is some precedent for write-in candidates.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski won re-eleciton[sic] to the U.S. Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after losing the primary for the Republican nomination to a Tea Party backed candidate
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

1, Worst President in US history.
2. Has told more documented lies than any leader in world history.
Yeah, but that only endears him to his base.
That's particularly obvious in ajax's case.

Thank the lawd that the DNC 2020 had the wisdom to give Bill Clinton the opportunity to publicly speak on proper behavior in the oval office.

When has the lying, ignorant, asshole, insane demographic in this country been so thoroughly represented? Of course people like ajax love him. Some people thrive on living selfish, useless lives. Some people are unconcerned with their reputation, and don't care that they have no credibility. Their ignorance is more important to them.
I've come to accept it. It is what it is.

Earlier today (actually yesterday--it's the wee hours) I viewed an interview between Biden and I believe, Anderson Cooper. Doesn't matter. In it when asked about debating Trump, he said that he was used to dealing with bullies. He meant on account of his stuttering.
Just found this from the Lincoln Project. Absolutely love this!
Please make sure you watch until the end when the logo comes up. Watch it a second time and keep your eye on the child's face. If you can't see the difference between Biden and Trump, then you are willfully blind.
Trump's indecency is a quality that endears him to his supporters. If the Trump campaign can sell indecency as being a good thing to enough voters, they can win in November. They've already got the most practiced liar available in Trump who will try his best at fooling voters regarding his incompetency.

I'm still surprised there are enough assholes and idiots in this country to make a moron like Trump competitive. It truly is surprising to me. It shouldn't be surprising; religion is popular too, and how fu-cking dumb is that?
I guess I still have a hard time accepting how stupid people really are.
