    1. I still have my ballot in hand, unmarked for any candidate. And since it’s a primary, I won’t be voting for Sanders. But I’m afraid I won’t have that option in November. I’m so depressed!

      (Reminder to all: I’m a registered unaffiliated/independent voter.)

    1. As an unaffiliated voter, I receive both Dem and GOP ballots and can vote whichever one I want. It has crossed my mind that I could vote for one of Trump’s GOP opponents if I wanted to … but of course none pose a threat to him. Have you really no way to prevent registered Republicans from voting for Bernie? That definitely does need to change. An affiliated voter should have to vote his/her party.

      1. P.S. Now that I think about it, I remember in my early voting years in Okla., everybody got the same paper ballot (with all candidates listed) and you could vote for your choice for each office. If you wanted to vote a straight ticket, there was a box at the top of that column that you could mark, so you didn’t have to mark every box in that column. (I’ve moved so much I’ve seen a lot of different ballots and systems.)

... and that's my two cents
