#TicketSplitting
Do you really think there's going to be that much ticketsplitting?

Our frontline candidates don't.

Despite intense political polarization, a significant number of Americans still cross party lines to support both Democratic and Republican candidates. A political science professor examines #ticketsplitting voters and their potential influence on the 2026 midterms: #polisky

This was what you call a "#BucketShop Op."

@GOP #ElectionOfficials disqualified only #Democrats' provisional & mail-in ballots, 1 or 2 votes here & there, for a sliver of a #Trump lead in battlegrounds.

This is why so much #TicketSplitting in this election.

He won with stolen "drops in a bucket."

Yes, and 2021 was a good year for Republicans. And Ciatarelli lost!!! It's an indication of a downturn in ticketsplitting. In a pre-trump election he probably would have won!

NJ was close in '24 because turnout plummeted, not because a bunch of NJians became MAGA in 4 years.

DID they choose to vote for every Dem but her? In many races other Dems won split-ticket because Trump voters walked in, voted Trump, and left the rest of the ticket blank.
I'm not absolving Kamala (FAR from it), but let's not assume Trump voters all had a secret hidden soft ticketsplitting side.

Oh, yeah, now I recognize #TICKETSplitting.
Was it historically to "check" the higher office, be it. POTUS, Governor, or school board...
