Depends on how they're programmed. Some would always vote one party. Some would always vote 50/50. It really depends on how sophisticated they are.

The poor robotic arm (for the CNC lathe) would be voting for workplace reforms, beginning with wages for hours worked, better hours (less hours), and benefits.
Other robots would vote for a robosexual President and organizations to represent Roborights.

What about factories dedicated to the manufacture of robots programmed to vote for the conservative party?

I hope one doesn't go into an infinite loop at the voting both to act as voter supression.

Do you mean "Churches" or "Home Schools"?
