Everyone does research before voting according to them.

My family members aren't familiar with even the most basic differences between the executive and legislative branches, and routinely make mistakes that would be cleared up with a 1st year understanding of government. They attribute blame/praise to one branch that they couldn't possibly be responsible due to how the separation of powers works.

But they've all "done their research, and [they] know a lot better than [I] do about who to vote for."
