Another DINO voted!

[matt]

You have to be either a member of the evil party or the stupid party to vote in the primaries in Maryland. They also give you a different ballot depending on whether you declare your evil or stupid affiliation.

that way they know which ones to count.

Wife and I went tonight, and no issues.

I didn't get a picture, but the place was obnoxiously strewn with all sorts of signs. It was hard to find grass!

Handed the lady my DL first... she started entering my info, then asked for the VID. Confirmed my info, sent me in. Not even a hint of an issue, or a question of party.

Got to the machine, did my thing. Felt good to leave so many spots blank, for some reason (though I did include Franchot since I believe he's doing the right thing).

As I turned in my card, 3 of the judges commented on--and gave a thumbs-up to--my NRA "Coexist" shirt.

Wife finished after me, and off we went, fingers crossed that this thing will work!!

(Honestly, I was really hoping I would get to say, "Democrat... until next week.")

Voted yesterday. Only one other voter in this huge gym. Last cycle (2012) the line to early vote wound all around the gym and out the door.

My wife said she understood why I went DINO, but made me sleep in the guest room anyway- she said it "just doesn't feel right".

Now, if there is as much voter apathy as seem to be indicated by the early voting turnout (unless Annapolis is an exception), a strong DINO turnout can really have an effect. If you haven't changed registration to DEM, even though the deadline is passed, I was told you can tell the election judge the you have changed to democrat, and get a provisional democrat primary ballot

 

[Mr H]

Just got my sample ballot.

LOL!!

 

[Sharpeneddark]

I got a small quiz on my VID card. Name, address, party affiliation, DOB. I was surprised that they went that far.

I honestly don't understand the great aversion to being a DINO. Think of it as you are doing what you can to help make Maryland a better place.

You should have had HER sleep in the guest room!

Who has an aversion to being a DINO? I think most DINOs though have a strong aversion to being identified as a D-word.

That was the result of a earlier misunderstanding of the provisional ballot regs. If you missed the June 3 deadline, you cannot change party affiliation for the primary.

 

[rseymorejr]

I got to wondering this a.m. if they would have let me vote if I said I was a DINO.

Yes, but only once.

 

[rstickle]

I had to have a drink afterwards also, made me feel dirty

I was just about to post the same thing, voted last Friday and left just hoping it does us all some good. Scary how many of them are running unopposed!

 

[Blake_7.62]

Ugh, I went after work.

I actually had to say I was a D-word. Twice.

Now I'm drinking hard liquor.

Will nothing make me feel clean again?

Early indications are that it may... and no one seems to see (or at least admit) it publicly.

 

[rambling_one]

Did my thing, but couldn't convince my bride to follow suit. Heck, she's even threatening not to vote in the general "because they're all a bunch of crooks."

Tell her in that case to vote out all incumbents and career pols.

 

[BeoBill]

Tell her to write in "None of the Above" in the General Election if she doesn't like any of the candidates. There should be a space for a write-in for each office on the ballot.

Allen West's top 10 reasons to vote DemocRAT

Top 10 Reasons to Vote Democrat in 2014

Along with West's #6, I'll add #11 ...

6. I’ll vote Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.

11. I’ll vote DemocRAT because I registered as a DINO to totally screw with their primary, then totally screw with them again when I vote against a weak DemocRAT candidate in the general election.

 

[jcarpenter]

Voted early. When they said you are voting Democratic right? it took a few seconds to say yes. Wife voted too. Hope it means something.

It looks as though AG dem primary race will be tight to the very end - and you need to vote for Cardin and talk with every dem voter you know.

Vote Cardin!

Any links for voting help? I am in Frederick county and wondering who to vote for.
