scratching the ticket

Read a random definition: commission of lunacy

A quick definition of scratching the ticket:

Scratching the ticket: When someone who belongs to a political party decides not to vote for one of their party's candidates by either crossing out their name or voting for someone from a different party instead.

A more thorough explanation:

Scratching the ticket refers to the act of a party member rejecting a candidate on their party's ticket by either canceling the candidate's name or voting for one or more nominees from the opposing political party.

For example, if a Republican voter decides to scratch the ticket, they may choose to vote for a Democratic candidate instead of the Republican candidate listed on their party's ticket. This can happen if the voter disagrees with the Republican candidate's policies or actions.

Another example could be a Democrat who scratches the ticket by canceling the name of a Democratic candidate and instead voting for a third-party candidate or an independent candidate.

Overall, scratching the ticket is a way for voters to express their dissatisfaction with a particular candidate or party and to vote for someone who they believe better represents their values and beliefs.

ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
