Another reason is that the vote sends a two-fold message; one about the particular candidates and another about the parties they have allegiance to.
So in this case the messages to America are:
1. Thuggery over Musicianship.
2. Go Trump - we like what you're doing.

I don't subscribe to either of those ideas, so the small comfort I draw from this result is that at least MB voted for the Democratic bluegrass guy.
