Primary concern (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

smear

votes

'primary concern' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for votes that I've seen before include "Elects by ballot" , "these should get cast" , "often indicated by hands" , "Choices expressed by electorate" , "Proposes" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Washington Post.
