Republican lieutenant governor says he did not vote for Herschel Walker

Georgia's Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said this week that he did not vote for GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker in the runoff election against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga.

Duncan told CNN in an interview Wednesday that he also did not vote for Warnock, explaining he stood in line to vote for an hour but could not bring himself to pull the lever for either candidate.

"I showed up to vote this morning," Duncan said. "I was one of those folks who got in line and spent about an hour waiting, and it was the most disappointing ballot I’ve ever stared at in my entire life since I started voting."

"I had two candidates that I just couldn’t find anything that made sense for me to put my vote behind, and so I walked out of that ballot box showing up to vote but not voting for either one of them," he added.

From the OP article:

Duncan announced last year that he would not seek re-election in 2022, saying "national events" since the 2020 presidential election had "deeply affected my family." He is a former health care executive and minor league baseball player who served three terms in the Georgia House of Representatives before winning election as lieutenant governor in 2018.

While I agree that the choice of candidates left a lot open for 'discussion', to say the least, it's a little hard taking criticism from someone who can't make up his own mind.  

If he chose not to vote, he in essence voted for the Democrat.

Should be gone.

Ya know, I've changed my mind. There's been some seats for which I didn't vote, because I knew neither candidate deserved my vote. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil. I've decided that there'll be no more of that for me.

In all good conscience I could not vote for someone I didn't believe was up to the job no matter which party he/she is aligned with. That would make me no better than those who voted for Fetterman just because he is a D or those who voted for Biden just because he isn't Trump.

I'd like to think I had more integrity than that.

There are only 2 candidates in run-offs by design. I'm not even from Georgia and I get it. He either voted Democrat and is lying, or he's dumber than shit.

Why is it dumb to refrain from voting for a person you have no faith in to execute the duties of the job?

If he voted Democrat wouldn't he just refrain from comment entirely?

Kudos on you, and it appears that Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan has just said integrity. I'll admit, though, to being curios as to what got him to making a public statement on the fact.
