Not that there’s anything wrong with it…
You know… we get to vote for whoever we want to vote for and we get to vote for them for whatever reason we want to vote for them for.
Personally, I vote based upon issues, character and confidence that the person can do the job.
Others might vote for a candidate based upon party affiliation, and there are certainly those who will vote for or against someone based upon race, gender, religion, height, hair, weight… just about anything.
You and I may think another person’s reason for voting for one candidate over another is nuts, but it is their right to use any criteria they consider important.
So when folks complain that there are some (many?) Americans that will cast their vote based upon the race of the candidate, I may find that appalling, but they are well within their rights.
