By voting for those who tend to be UTR, you can generally get more information about them than you would if they didn't receive any pressure. Day 1 usually provides little to base a vote on, so anything that brings in additional information to assist in separating wolves from villagers should be welcome.

This has generally been my logic for day 1 votes in the past. Generally, people who contribute fewer thoughts and ideas are less useful to the village than people who contribute more. The only tool I, as an individual, have to effect this behavior is to cast votes. So that's what I do.
