If you’re a hard partisan, that’s probably an easy question to answer: You voted for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton because you are a Republican or a Democrat. It’s how you vote. So then, why did you vote the way you did in the last mayor’s race where you live, or in some other local race where partisanship makes less difference? What was it that convinced you that Person X was preferable for Person Y, all else considered?
Maybe it’s because you did a ton of research into the candidates and identified those issues you found most important and lined up your vote accordingly. But there has certainly been an election at some point in time where you sort of threw a dart at a dartboard, relying on one random endorsement or a skim of a candidate’s bio or perhaps something a friend said online. It can be tough to identify why you voted the way you did — sometimes it’s sort of a sense that you picked up somewhere that led you to feel the way you did.
