We won't even know the certified list of candidates until 31 March, which is also the deadline for selected presidential candidates to withdraw (I'm curious to see what names are NOT dropped).

I know we can count on you for more warnings as the fateful day approaches. It will be here quicker than you think.

if its two weeks out, and nothing has come, I will be looking for my voting place, and heading over there fast to vote!

There are moments of quiet reflection as I walk back, and it's sort of a custom of mine to celebrate my vote by stopping off at La Taqueria on Mission Street. That makes every voting night a winner. Talk about positive reinforcement!

California has open primaries for most offices, but this doesn't apply to the presidential candidates. Last time (or the time before last) the GOP let non-affiliated voters vote in their primary: are they doing this this year?

Registered voters not stating a party preference may request a June ballot for the Democratic, American Independent, or Libertarian party. No option to vote against Trump this time around.

I'll make a mark on the calendar as well as one in May, to watch for my Vote by Mail.
