If you're voting for Trump because he's not Biden or voting Biden because he's not Trump, will you consider voting for a 3rd party. If not, why not ?
My state hasn't voted R since Reagan in '84. Hillary beat Trump by 59%-36%, 1.7 million votes. Biden will win by at least that much, as would a picture of a donkey. Because i don't want either major party candidate to be prez, I intend to vote 3rd party [again]. i know that's called throwing away my vote by some people, but I can't think of a single practical reason why I should force myself to vote for the rock or the hard place.
Last election (2016) I voted Libertarian and I was in a swing state. I loathed both candidates; Hillary because she was a corrupt shrew who already sold access to Office of the Secretary of State to foreign states willing to pay enough and Trump because, well frankly because he was a Trump, plus I was afraid we’d end up in WWIII over some tweet.
This election, even though I’m sitting in blood red Kentucky, I may end up voting Trump. Not because I think any more highly of him, but because I think it would be better for the nation as a whole the closer the popular vote matches the electoral vote. I am genuinely worried about this election and for the very first time in my life I am concerned about voter fraud. I have visions of being like that one district in New York and needing to redo the election.

I hadn't thought of that as a reason to vote for a candidate I don't support rather than for a 3rd party. Something to consider.

I have voted Libertarian in the past, and while I will not vote for either Biden or Trump in November. After some research I find that Jo Jorgensen is a better choice but of course has no chance to win. Voting for her will at least leave me with a clear conscience, despite Biden winning our state.

... and I'll be voting for Trump because he was the best candidate in 2016 and is again in 2020... despite Biden winning our state thanks to the clueless libs in Seattle that love to vote for Democratic incompetency that is running our state into the ground such as the Seattle city council... mayor Dumbkan... and tax man Inslee.

There was no district in NY that needed to redo the election. Are you thinking of North Carolina's 9th district?

That's the way it was and is with me. I didn't like either, so I voted for Johnson, trying to send a message.
I have become a Trump convert. I would not like to be friends with him, don't care for his thin-skinned Tweets, hate the way he treats some people, but I feel he is the best choice.
Besides, if Trump is reelected, it may pave the way for a President Nikki Haley and I like her a lot.
