George and Laura Bush Did Not Vote for Clinton or Trump for President

There has been much speculation over how the Bush family would vote today, given clear personal distaste for Donald Trump. Well, now we know what at least two of them did.

There are reports tonight that George W. Bush and Laura Bush both left the presidential line blank and voted Republican down-ticket:

Bush 43 spox confirms to @CBSNews that Bush and his wife Laura left their presidential ballots blank, voted Republican in downballot races.
