About the only thing you can vote for is the school board if you feel inclined to do so.Ok. So far, I've only received a mail-in ballot request form. I'm "Unaffiliated" so I won't be voting in the primaries.

Consider CHANGING your affiliation. You can do so on Early Voting Days by asking for SAME DAY registration, and picking a party.Ok. So far, I've only received a mail-in ballot request form. I'm "Unaffiliated" so I won't be voting in the primaries.
I don't want to "mail in" but I'll vote early. Do I just go to a polling place early, or use a drop-box?

Who's the third major party you speak of?Another of the endless PSA :
Yes , it is cool to be " free thinking & Independent Minded "
Yes , both ( all three ) major parties have major factors that suck .
BUT, being unaffiliated only self disenfranchised yourself.
This is Maryland. 90% of the time , the November election is pointless, and the Primary is the real election.
Hold your nose , and register in one or the other . Your coin toss between the one purportedly & imperfectly somewhat closer to your values vs getting the most leverage from behind enemy lines .
Registering doesn't mean you approve of , or support them , or like them, or give them any $ . It just gets you a path to vote in the Primary
Libertarians can nominate candidates only by convention, which does not make them a major party. In order for a minor party to qualify to have primary election status, it must get 10% of the voters to register with their party.Libertarian
The Libertarians don't have that many who've registered with the party. It is less than 1%. The amount of votes required to maintain ballot status is 1% at the top of the ticket.Libertarian is at best a 7% party.
People in this country are too afraid to take a chance on a party that would actually preserve the rights of all American citizens.
So the voters continue to vote for the combined Republican and Democrat UNI-PARTY. And why we have ANTI-2A politicians like Red Flag Larry running for senate.
Moreover, what do you have against Libertarians?
I find that most candidates that are pro 2A tend to be pro police and pro common sense. I may be wrong but if they support 2A they will most likely have a lot of similar values as I do. Hogan fooled me, bastard.2A no doubt.
Not a single issue voter myself, but I will say this. If there IS a single issue candidate litmus test? One that tends to most quickly and accurately define a candidate's view of the electorate, as being either citizens or subjects?
It's the 2A issue.
Ah, "electioneering"...Well, about to go and vote early today in Fredneck in a bit. I wonder what the electioneering is gonna be like?
Ah, "electioneering"...
Having been a Daywalker, it's really easy to follow the rules, and keep outside the blast radius.
In 2022 (NOT a Presidential year), we went to the local BoE to vote early, and yes... I wore The Magic Hat.
Lots of smiles, and even acknowledgments by poll workers, but nothing of issue. But, after voting, we walked outside and a young mom started talking to us, and we with her about her child. Another couple scoffed as they walked into the building. Within a minute, the Chief Orc came out and scolded me roundly about my presence.
Such fun...
not too bad today. Just people backing school board members. A few of the Karen types pushing the “Apple Ballot” that were standing far away from the boundary who really did sneer at me. And then the conservative ladies closer to the entrance who were all smiles and asking if I knew who I was voting for and had literature to give me if I wasn’t. Very pleasant to speak with. Huge difference between the two camps. Then again, did wear short sleeves and the Gadsden tends to turn off the lib chicks. Never banked on that blessing!Ah, "electioneering"...

Voting today at AACo BoE went beautifully.
Everyone we talked to was pleasant, and you could tell from their conversation that they are overwhelmingly on 'our side'.
I got into some good ribbing with a poll worker in a low-key Ruger hat, and some others who "get it".
Be ready for some new protocols, apparently designed to assure you of a [more] secure
With the makeup of LD 32 being what it is now, I think it speaks volumes. Are you in a conservative 'pocket' in that district?Voting today at AACo BoE went beautifully.

Very much so, but in '14 and '18, I was involved with campaigns, and learned that the establishment has a firm hold on the district, despite the great push and effort of our people.With the makeup of LD 32 being what it is now, I think it speaks volumes.
