Stock brokers vote Republican, like CEOs, for a number of reasons...one be handouts.
In the past this would be dead on. But as I mentioned in another thread, many of the major Wall Street hedge-fund players backed and supported Obama...I'm talking about butt loads of them. Which went against what most of the smaller Wall Street guys wanted.
On paper, these players backing Obama makes zero sense. Some speculate under the table kick backs...big ones. But who knows, there is really no way to prove that either way.
