I live in Nevada. And since the write-in vote is not available to me but "None of These Candidates"
is, I am voting accordingly.

I agree, @Victoria33 . 

Hillary is mean and valueless, ambitious and evil, but I haven't seen anything that indicates she is insane.

She married and enabled Bill Clinton, didn't she? ;)

I've been of voting age for 50 years and can't recall voting for anyone. I vote against someone unthinkably bad or for the lesser of evils. None have truly been for smaller government.

Yes, well, is this case, I guess you can say I'm voting against Hillary AND Trump.

Both are evil. Trump is the biggest RINO that ever walked the face of the earth. I just can't help but wonder if Trumpettes would have backed Sanders if he ran in the Republican primary because - you know - he's NOT Hillary!

1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

@roamer_1

As of last week Castle was not going to be on the ballot according to the SOS  :pondering: That's why I chose Johnson, if I'm going 3rd party want it to show up someplace but in the "Other" category when the votes are counted. If he was/is on the ballot I'll vote for him but don't want to do a write in..

News to me... As far as I know, write-in is still pending.

If so, I'll follow you, or abstain... Or maybe that McMuffin feller.

Iowa is likely to be close. I have an open mind and will have till election day. Trump needs to find a way to win my vote, or I will vote third party or write in.

Still waiting.

Not so lucky here, so far... I imagine I'll be abstaining.

I'm pretty much set on abstaining mostly because I don't want to participate in what I view as a failed system.

I just figured out what bothers me about this thread and the question posed by it:

There is some sort of assumption that I am *obligated* to vote one way or another it it is "close."

If the race is "close" between two big-government, overreaching liberals, my obligation is still to vote my conscience and find the candidate who will best represent conservative values.

Right now, that's neither Trump not Clinton. If I later decide everyone in the race is a suck arse liberal, then I guess "vote accordingly" would be to stay home. I don't vote for liberals.

The only assumption is yours.

I am voting state. Especially since there is a vacancy on the state Supreme Court. I expect hillary to take the POTUS spot.
