If someone does this without doing their research first, then I do agree with you. But if someone has done their research and knows lines will be long on election day, it is a real time saver to fill in one bubble instead of 6.
Dee, you know that I was talking about people who vote based on the D or the R behind the candidates name and not the candidate him/herself. People that vote for the party and not the candidates. Also, when compared to taking the time to research each candidates views and political opinions filling out each bubble isn't all that time consuming
