What is another word for crossover voter?
Pronunciation: [kɹˈɒsə͡ʊvə vˈə͡ʊtə] (IPA) 
A crossover voter is someone who votes for a candidate outside of their usual political party affiliation. Other terms for crossover voters may include "political defector," "party switcher," or "independent voter." These individuals may have a unique perspective on politics and often vote based on the specific issues or candidates rather than party lines. Some may also identify as swing voters, meaning they will vote for whomever they feel is the strongest candidate, regardless of party affiliation. With a growing number of independent voters and an increasing importance placed on winning swing states in elections, the importance of understanding the motivations and attitudes of crossover voters cannot be understated.
