The number of people who vote by the top name is higher than you expect.

Last name start with a B and your opponent's last is a T.... you're getting a head start just because of that alone.

If I dont know any of the candidates, I vote against the declared republican by voting for the declared Democrat. If a republican is running unopposed, I write in Barack Obama. I was a swing voter before Donald Trump became president.

Most ballots randomize the order for that reason.
