Sometimes, if I don't know enough about them, I don't vote in that race. Sometimes, if the voter's guide doesn't have enough info, I'll look for some of my own.

And by "I copy them," I mean, "Someone I know does lots of research (usually, this is my mother), and we talk about it, and argue a little, and then we both vote, often for different people."

Once, I voted a straight party ticket, with the lever and everything, and then I felt guilty because I had no idea who I'd just voted for in some of the down ballot races, and so I don't do that anymore.
