Here's how I think it works:

  • You see a sign for a candidate
  • "Hmm, I've never heard of them. I should look them up."
  • Looks them up
  • Finds their site
  • Reads their stances on certain issues
  • Decides whether to vote for them or not

Of course, this doesn't work with established names (LePage and Mills, for example). And it probably doesn't work as a whole. But with names I've never seen, that's my theory.

Right, that is how I think it works too. I've done this occasionally, seen a name and looked them up. Especially for low profile positions: probate judges, registrar, country treasurer, etc., many of whom don't do a lot of canvassing especially for county wide positions.
