B. Is this a reflection on people focusing on the letter next to the name and the person they are voting on? --this is something I have been thinking about in local elections.


Straight-ticket checkboxes are a huge problem IMO. In addition, district engineering is likely skewing the numbers somewhat as well. The biggest factor, though, is how easy it is to live in an echo chamber these days, thanks to the Internet. The amount of disdain each side has for the other is pretty sad at this point, and instead of seeing this as a problem, politicians are taking advantage of it. It got our current president elected.
