    And what is down the ballot? Local governors? You don’t just vote for the president in the presidential election?

      It’s multiple positions at multiple levels of government. Since you asked, I bet I can quickly find what was in my ballot in November…

      President (Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green Party)

      Senator (Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, Green Party, Constitution Party)

      Attorney General (6 parties represented)

      Auditor General (5 parties)

      State Treasurer (5 parties)

      Representative in Congress (only R and D)

      State Senator (only R and D)

      State Representative (only R and D)

      And all of these would have a line for write-in on the ballot, of course.

      So it goes from the president all the way down to the state representative, which is somebody who represents your local district at the state level legislature. So they could very well be a neighbor or a name in the local community.

        Wow. Unusal, but I suppose you can do everything at the same time.
