My ballot had the Presidential candidate section blank since Im not registered with a party.

Apparently the Democrat, Libertarian, & Independent parties in California do have their primaries open - BUT you have to call or email one of them so that they can mail you one of their own ballots.

This according to this yellow paper that came with my drop off ballot....that I waited to the last minute to open and read over. I shouldnt have switched to no party preference.

F*** I missed out on the revolucon.

I live in California too, and I get absentee ballots. They sent me a little card a while back asking if I wanted to get a ballot for a party primary, and I sent it back asking for the Dem ballot.

Why would you not be registered with the Democratic party?

More brilliant moves from enlightened centrists

Why would you ever put yourself in a database signalling your political leanings? Why should that be required?

Should be against the law

No you dont. You have to ask for their primary ballot if you are independent. I dont even live in CA and I know that

Forced party registration is presumably to prevent people of other parties tampering with party elections.

This. I'm a No Party Preference voter in California and I just went to the poll and asked for a Democratic ballot. And of course I voted Bernie.

If you live near your assigned polling place in CA, you can go there in person, surrender your mail-in ballot and request a non-provisional cross-over Democratic ballot.

If you don't live near the place where you're registered, then you can go to any polling place and cast a cross-over ballot provisionally.

Is it the establishment's fault that TC doesn't know how his states primary works?

So my friend said that the place was empty and the two workers there were like high school age and didnt know exactly how to answer his question, and their manager (supervisor or whatever they have) was busy elsewhere in the building so he just left.

Also my mail-in ballot says I have no assigned polling place. Eh f*** it, its already pretty late. /topic
