I voted for everyone. As Cynthetiq pointed out, either you're qualified or not. Even more to the point, either I agree with you enough to vote for you or not.
The reason I'm singling the point above out is because it's pretty close-minded. The mainstream LSD church rejected plural marriages well over 100 years ago. Lots of Mormons are mainstream, albeit the right side of mainstream. There are excommunicated members of the Church that still subscribe to the practice (Warren Jeffs, etc.), but vast majority of Mormons find it as repellant as the rest of the country, particularly the way that Fundamentalist Mormons practice it (i.e. forced marriages of underaged girls).
For the record, I am not now nor have I ever been Mormon. I identify myself as "agnotistic" for the simple reason that there's not shorter version of "don't care".
