I voted for Elaine Luria (D) for the 2nd district.

She is what Democrats used to be like, and I hope she doesn't get ground to pieces in DC.
 
If being a member of no party counts as "voting across party lines," I did.

I voted for Feinswien.
 
Not this time, and probably not in the foreseeable future. I’m finding it hard to envision a scenario in which I ever vote for a Republican again.
 
I voted against every Trumpist. If I wasn't sure if a non-partisan candidate was a Trumpist or not, I didn't vote in that category.

I kept the national offices red, but there were many state offices also on the ballot, and I voted Democrat in many of them, including for the courts.
 
Yes, but on the state level.

Federal had to be Democrat given the craven behavior of the GOP under Trump (not that they were all that much better for the last ten years). Hell, a concern for fiscal responsibility hasn't even mattered for 40+ years, and on top of that the GOP's social initiatives are vile.


Fortunately here in MA, we have had a sane Republican governor, so he was one of the ones that got my vote on the state level.
