Bernie is the moral vote, don't vote for a security/war hawk unless you're forced to.

Due to how CA works, I usually get 2 down ticket Dems for each seat I have to decide on in the general. :smuggo:

It's because the TPP is hugely unpopular across the aisle during this election cycle as evidenced by Trump & Sanders. She was for it initially. :sad:

A candidate willing to change their policies to fit the will of the electorate sounds good to me!

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I voted in the biggest Super Tuesday contest of all! And by that I mean the shady rear end NC primary election thrown together thanks to courts rejecting the Republican gerrymandering. I was number #127 today and the old ladies had fallen asleep due to lack of voting. Viva Democracy

An old friend of mine posted a photo of a portion of his ballot this morning and he wrote in "Condeleeza Rice."

Not sure if it's a joke ballot or just him being kinda dumb. He even added #ImWithHer to his post (but not the ballot, unfortunately).

Could actually be illegal, depending on the exact state laws. Taking selfies of yourself with your ballot is definitely bad form.

It's a misspelling of her first name, which is spelt "Condoleezza". I'm pretty sure that, if there were any actual write-in campaign on her behalf, it would still end up getting counted as a vote for her, though.

Because it's actually spelled Condoleezza and he's been a supporter of hers in the past, so the misspelling stood out to me. At least it bears a "reasonable resemblance" to her name, so his vote would still count :911:

That would make her name be pronounced Condolitsa though.

I'm not voting for Stein loving lmao it's Clinton or Bernie, Bernie because I want to support his politics but his statements about the Nevada violence were bad and I'm started to get worried he might make things worse for the general, like if he goes real hard butthole about delegates or whatever in the convention and makes it messy

Was the first person in line this morning, took five minutes to cast my vote for Hil-Dawg, and was out. Saw a kid who didn't know he was a registered Republican get told to call the Registrar to see if they could fix it so he could vote Democrat. Saw another Elderly black gentleman loudly declare that he wasn't voting for no "Trump nonsense", but would "probably vote for Mrs. Clinton."

More like an interesting week since they'll keep accepting mail-in ballots until June 10.

e: from the California SOS website: "Mailed ballots: Must be postmarked on or before June 7, 2016, and received by your county elections office no later than June 10, 2016."

I don't think anyone will be paying attention after tonight. Obama will endorse tomorrow, and if the late mail-in ballots changes the result, its going to be a footnote at the end of the nightly news.
