go vote today.
today we went to vote. we started out by going to our normal voting location where there was a sign posted that said that this polling location had been moved to another school a few miles away. on a different sign, it said something to the effect of "if you belong [these] voting districts, then go to legacy elementary, and if you belong to [these other ones] go to af high school." it was very misleading because 1)the first sign didn't say anything about the polling location being split between two new locations and 2) even if we were smart enough to figure out that is what the second sign was saying, who really knows their voting district anyway?
anyway, after going to three different locations we ended up at the proper voting location and cast our meaningless votes.
by the way. did you know that if you are registered as unaffiliated, you can vote democrat, but not republican? however, if you are unaffiliated, you can register yourself with a party at the polls and vote for whomever you want. on the other hand, if you are already registered with a party, you cannot change it at the polls.
lesson learned? for the next presidential election, change registration to unaffiliated. then for the primary elections you can vote for the cantidate of your choice regardless of party affiliation.
addendum: after reading this disheartening tale i learned that apparently each state has it's own rules and regulations regarding open or closed primary elections.

Thankfully, I learned this a while back and marked myself unaffiliated. Which kind of made me feel like a non-member for a minute. :)
read my blog as to why I couldn't vote today . . . so upset about it.
