Welcome to The Shtick Voter Guide (aka. The Election Shtick). Here, research is collected on many candidates and even, at times, original source material is made available. (Generally in the form of responses received from letters to candidates.) This research is undertaken to allow us to decide how to vote in upcoming elections. We make all of our material available to you so that you can easily get the benefit of our research and come to your own conclusions.

We believe firmly that voting without getting informed is worse than not voting at all. We also believe in voting with your conscience. We recently added a vote significance calculator so that you can verify for yourself that voting your conscience won't cause the greater of two evils to win.

Name Notes
Mike Lee Our pick. Republican
Candidates to Not Vote for
All of the below We're so impressed with Lee and his track record, that we consider it a scandalous stain on the name of any candidate, to try to unseat him. If you are trying to help Utah, then find a seat that needs better leadership. Hence, any candidate that ran against him is hereby considered an enemy of Utah, and not worth voting for. (This is a rare analog to our general practice of using endorsements of and by good or bad actors to help us discern the alliances and loyalties of a candidate.)
Evan McMullin Unaffiliated
James Arthur Hansen Libertarian
Tommy Williams Independent American Party
