Mrs. Aristus, the Republican, posted her ballot tonight with a vote for Hillary Clinton.

A staunch Eisenhower-style Republican, she voted for Hillary without a qualm. She then researched Washington State Republicans on the ballot to see if they publicly supported Trump, and voted against every one who did.

She voted against Governor Jay Inslee because his opponent, Bill Somebody, opposed Trump's candidacy. I suppose that was his only virtue. I'm pretty sure Inslee will be re-elected, so I'm cool with that.

Republican nominee. In fact of Trump was the DNC Nominee I would not vote for him either, the worst presidential candidate in my lifetime.
