Doug,

I believe you participate in an e-mail list for people who study the art and science of polling.

I have this (admittedly inartistic and unscientific) difficulty believing that there is anyone who'll go to the poll to cast a protest vote for, say, RN and then, finding he's not on the ballot, vote instead for the Democrats' nominee.

Do the polling guys have some research to, I don't know, correlate the difference between the responses they get to "pick from this list of three" vs. "pick from these two" with real voting behavior?
