I am a Catholic, pro-life, libertarian populist, conservative who votes in Maryland. I consider it the least interesting part of politics to choose which of these politicians is the least objectionable candidate. I think reporting on them and putting their views and records in context is more interesting and important. But I love voting. I also believe in transparency, so here I will explain my vote.
I will be writing in Evan McMullin for president.
The simplest explanation is this: I find Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton abhorrent. I don’t want to associate myself with either of them, and I want to register a protest against Trump, specifically, in a conservative direction. I would vote Libertarian (the party in which I am registered), except that the Libertarian nominees oppose religious liberty.
