    I use this neat trick to avoid getting purged. I register Republican.

    Then I vote straight Democrat. When I can tell who the Democrat is. It’s not always easy in this dang state and all the stupid positions that are SUPPOSED to be non-partisan.

    Fucking whacko fundies ruin everything.

      “How could there be so many votes for the evil Demonrats when we have so many registered Republicans? That must mean they’re cheating so we’re gonna toss all the ‘irregular’ Demonrat votes!”

      -Some “patriotic” governor.

      Damn…that’s…actually pretty smart. Even if they catch on that people are doing this, what are they going to do? Purge republican registered voters?

      I’m in MN and this is why I love mail in voting for all. I was able to sit down at my computer with my ballot and research all of the non-partisan candidates to see who they really are. There absolutely was a conservative nutjob vying for every contested spot.
