i voted for johnson because even though i don't agree on certain issues with him, he's the only sane one i saw on the ballot. he's really the only one i felt i could actually vote for and have a clear conscious 20 years from now. if he wasn't an option, it's no secret i would have opted for trump and all his flaws over hillary and all her flaws.
there's some multiple term politicians here i've met and liked oddly enough, so they got my vote. hell, my old lawyer is a democrat and ran for attorney general, she got my vote (but lost the election). all others i voted for based on how they treated certain local issues, so their past records so to speak. most of my choices were new blood over incumbents.
we also had like 20 judges we got to vote to keep or not. after seeing how unfairly minorities are treated here in the courtrooms (yea i know, everywhere) after the fallout in ferguson i decided they should all go.
