Not for the same office in the same election.
brokeplex:
"How Did Ennis Vote?" or Jack or Alma or Lureen, etc?
I am curious why is this (ese) question(s) interesting? ???
I have read some interesting speculations on this thread, but the reasons for the question interests me far more than the answer.

Seems like you answer your own question -- it's fun to speculate. The forum is full of these sorts of threads.
Personally, I'm not super fond of really far-reaching speculation: "If Ennis had accepted Jack's offer and they had gone to help out at the Twist ranch, would they have lived in the same house with the Twists and eaten their meals with them, and who would have done the dishes?" That kind of thing. For me, there's just not enough to go on to form sound opinions.
But as you see, there ARE some jumping-off points for speculation about Ennis' politics. And they're interesting for what they reveal about the movie and about Brokies' own ideas.

Merci brokeplex!
As Ennis and Jack tried to vary their lives, so why not pose how Ennis would have maybe voted??
Maybe, Ennis would have considered voting for a party which was pro-gay, permiitting gay mariages and others civil rights ?
Answers from you and all, I'll consider interesting !
Au revoir,
hugs!

I find this to be very true. It reveals a lot about how we view the characters. And it´s not a far fetched question. BBM, to me, is a movie with a message that to a certain extent also is political.
would be interesting to also discuss how Jack may have voted (or if he did at all). Maybe a new poll?
