2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Reality Check]

Just did my civic duty.

It picked up in my ward real quick as everyone got out of work. In the end I tossed my vote to Amy over Steyer, though I had that ballot for like 3 minutes staring at it before I filled it out.

Also, for those not in the know, In NH you walk in as an independent. Once they find your name and you can pick from either ballot. Once you submit it, you can walk over to a book, tell them which ticket you took and sign your name next to it and you go back to undeclared for the next go round.

Kind of cool, not sure how other states do it.

Missouri has that too. Threw me for a loop the first time I voted in the primary here in 2018 because moving from the Northeast, I was used to having the party specific ballot and not being asked what party's ballot you want to vote with.

Joy has been terrible for years, dawg. She's fukking clueless. Most of these people are so goddamn out of touch with reality. Cue all the stories about people being mean online. NOBODY GIVES A fukk

 

[Listen]

So, they can change to Democrat just to vote in the primary, or did I interpret that wrong?

Nope you got it right.

I remember when Hilary saw Obama getting that head of steam in NH I had more than one Republican head who chose to vote Obama/Democrat in the primary because their hate for Hilary was so strong.

Then they voted McCain in the General Election.

I'm guessing New Hampshire is like Missouri where there is no official state-wide party registration; you can register to vote, but there's no place to put down party affiliation. I was a registered Dem when I lived back east, so when I went to vote in the primary, they had that on file and you were given the dem ballot. Here, when you go to vote in a primary, you go to your polling station, and after they verify you're registered to vote, they ask you what party ballot you want.
