2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJust voted in PA
I'm in a very rural, conservative district. Voting was VERY busy with about a 20-minute wait-- unheard of in a primary election at this polling place. Judging from the chatter, they were all there to vote for Trump.
Of concern to me was that towards the end of the ballot--SEPARATE FROM THE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT--you're asked to vote for up to six delegates to the Democratic national convention, three female, three male. Hillary had six candidates, Bernie had only three.

(154,021 posts)CNN was interviewing a delegate that said they were not (on the GOP side). So that is interesting.

(4,805 posts)Sorry, I meant three female, three male. Brain glitch. I corrected the original post.

(4,805 posts)wtf is up with that shit? sounds WRONG on the face of it. I don't think my state has ever made that distinction.

(45,251 posts)coincidence! Two states give the same confusing instruction. You'd think Katherine Harris was in charge in both states.
I have never seen another primary, Republican or Democratic, or election this disgusting in my life. It's shameful and disgraceful.
