a funny thing happened…
I was under the distinct impression that you could declare whatever party you liked when you voted and vote for whichever person(s) you felt would do the best job. So, for giggles, I declared Democrat; my father would hang his head if he knew he raised a Republican…. Not to worry, Dad! You didn’t… You raised a Mac using libertarian boho wannabe instead. Oh happy day. Anyway.
I got to the computer and all I had were Democrats on my screen. WTF. I raised my hand like I was in grade school until someone came to help me. I had to explain that, yeah i’ve never voted and I didn’t realize that if I declared democrat I had to vote ONLY FOR DEMOCRATS. Holy crap…our voting system is flawed all over the place. At least I wasn’t standing in the wrong corner all by myself. That would have been embarrassing. Then I had to vote for a judge and a property assessor; there was only 1 from each party running so my choice was pretty damn easy.
So yay I voted in my first primary, Big Brother thinks I’m a republican, and Ann Coulter said she’d vote for Hillary before she voted for McCain. Oh boy.
