Mar 2020

and 2012 and 2008 and - well, this whole century. And it's been explained over and over but somehow Bernie supporters just can't seem to be able to grasp it. I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been more complaining about in this forum this year. The process boils down to election officials aren't psychic and can not guess which ballot you want if you're NPP, the voters' guide contains instructions on how to get a replacement if you got the generic ballot, and in my county at least all NPP voters got a physical mailing before Thanksgiving explaining this again and asking them to send back their preference, postage paid.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
