NH Primary

 We did our part but ...

Dan is registered as undeclared/independent.  He got to select the ballot he wanted.  He couldn't comfortably say Republican so he said "Red."  Dan voted for Haley as an anti-tRump vote. He felt like he was holding is nose to do even that.  We know others including our daughter and son in law who did the same thing.  It helped Haley some but not enough.

I'm registered Democrat.  I wrote in Joe Biden.  

How to stop tRump?

I fear for our country and feel so very sorry for those fellow Americans who have been taken in by his lies and the lies of Fox news.


Addendum for Suz-ee's benefit and others unfamiliar.

For primaries when candidates for elected office are selected by party you have to be registered as Democrat or Republican to vote in the respective party primaries.  My husband registered as an independent could not vote in primaries when we lived in Maryland.  In NH independents are allowed to select a party primary to vote in on primary election day which is what he did.  Afterward he changed his affiliation back to Independent.

Who you vote for is still by secret ballot.
