The republicons have uncharacteristically "tipped their hand" this primary season. Their attacks on Planned Parenthood and way stupid legislative initiatives like the Blunt amendment and Ryan's budget farce are going to be their undoing. Do I need to mention their universal support for war with Iran? These groups now know for sure that voting a straight Democratic ticket is in their best interest. As much as I would like to vote for a Bernie Sanders I know that a wasted write-in or independent vote is equivalent to a vote for the republicons, don't do it! (Albert Cat forgot seniors, and educated people.)

both sides of a ticket. You can accidentally vote for an R if not well informed on local/state politics. I do not recall ever seeing Dems filing on both sides here, it probably has happened somewhere, but it does seem to be more of a Repug tactic.
