Do You and Your Parents Vote The Same or Totally Different??

98. Okay, I've got sort of a parent group, and they're all in NH.

I've got 2 sets of parents-- 2 lesbian moms and a dad and stepmom. All but one is from MA originally, but all currently live in NH.

My birth mother was a Republican for many years and was even elected to local (NH rep) office as a Republican. She left the party in the 80's and votes progressive without exception.
Mom 2 (the only one originally from NH) will vote Dem. She's union and involved. Both are wonderful, churchgoing caring people nearing their 70s, and they are married. They're social justice voters.

My birth father has always been a Dem, as far as I know. His wife was a Republican for many years-- she inherited money and property from her dad and when I was a kid we argued like cats and dogs about politics. Lo and behold, her kids have struggled and drained the trusts from their grandfather, and both of them have been on various forms of public assistance (mostly CHIP for their kids) for years and now she's voting Democratic. They're economics voters.

So, 4 for 4 in NH.

My husband & I are voting Democratic in WA, and so are both of his parents.
