What is a spoiled primary ballot?

A ballot is spoiled in Washington State's new primary if the voter has acted or failed to act in marking the ballot in such a way that prevents the partisan portion of the ballot from being counted.
Stalin said it does NOT matter who casts the vote, only who counts them

ButtSucking traitors tell people how to vote or throw the vote out

Since when does the gov. decide how you can vote and for who?

It is time to vote with the 308 hole punch method.

As long as people dont want to do anything about it we will continue to be pushed around by our elected rulers...


But hey "We" are all "Republicans" here anyway right?

And none of "us" would ever not vote outside party lines right?


see what I mean?


If my vote is not going to count because I choose to vote outside of the party line, I simpley will not vote in a crooked system any longer...

Everytime they play that propaganda shit showing voters as an Elephant, Donkey, a greeny in drag followed by a pig a Giraffe and a host of other animals it makes my blood boil, then the lying commie bitch from the propagenda program comes telling me how to vote it is just too much to take.

"They" show their utter comtempt for the people by portraying them as animals, the troubling thing is, they seem to be right about the majority, although it is an unfair slight against animals.

I, for one, like the new primary system. I do not want people who vote along other party lines choosing my candidates. I would much rather choose my own. I really don't care who is chosen for the other parties. Let the people who follow those party lines choose their own candidates.

I prefer the primary system over the caucus system we used to have.  The change really isn't all that major, as you  had to declare a party and choose along those lines at the caucuses as well.  The primary system has made it a lot easier for people to cast a vote for the person they want to run.  How many here ever went to a caucus?  I never did....

STRATIOTES, you are an idiot... your elected representatives in Washington State did NOT support the present primary system, which was forced by the policitial parties, both Republician and Democrat.  The parties believe that only they should have the right to place a candidate on the general election ballot and sued the State citing the recent US Supreme Court decision on the California primary system.  If you are a 'registered' republican, you need to let Chris Vance know how much you dislike the present system.  Vance does not hold an elected position in this State, he is the chair of the State Republican party.

Scollins, Washington State never had a 'caucus' system except for the selection of delegates to the presidential conventions.  Every State and local candidate was (is) first decided on the primary ballot... the top canditate in each party from the primary is listed on the general ballot.

Yeah, you lost the constitutional battle in the Courts... it was the Republican party that brought the suit AGAINST the 'old' primary system. You are an idiot if you thing .gov forced the new primary system... it was the parties.

Huh, I thought everything was decided by the caucuses.  But now that I think back, I do remember "primary" votes in the past.  I voted so many times that I can't hardly keep track of what/when/where/how it seems like.

I'm setup as a permanent absentee, so all the ballots get mailed to my house.  WAY better than trudging off the polling places.  Plus, I can do last second research on candidates.  I highly suggest this method to everyone.  That, and you NEVER miss a vote.  They had a tax levy vote come up in Renton a few months back, and it was the only thing on the ballot....

Right, and it wasn't the State Courts, it was the federal courts... but the suit was brought by the parties... if there is any blame it, in my opinion, lies there.  This whole issue has been ongoing for at least 2 years, with both the Secretary of State (a republican) and the Attorney General (a democrat) fighting for Washington's traditional, very populist, primary system.

civics

The branch of political science that deals with civic affairs and the rights and duties of citizens.


civil

5. Sufficiently observing or befitting accepted social usages; not rude: a civil reply. See Synonyms at polite.


[Middle English, from Latin cvlis, from cvis, citizen. See civic.]


While the two words do share a common root they are only vaguely related. No where is that more easily seen than online.

I just looked it up, and it was back in February, so more than just "a few months back."  More like 6 months ago.  Sorry about that.  But it was the only issue on the ballot.   Anyway, it was a $150 million school bond  that failed by 18 votes on the recount.

I have been checking this out a little more in the last couple of days, and I think it is not really that bad of a deal, It does keep the other side from stacking the vote by sticking it to the other side, and I guess that as long on the big day you can vote whatever you want, then it really does not  matter.....


To me it really is turning into a Vote within a Vote....

The point is the gov is NOT supposed to tell you in what way you can vote.

A constitution is supposed to limit the government from infringing on individual rights, the American man is supposed to be sovereign, superior to government which is the creation of a living breathing soul.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed,


No infringement of rights should be tolerated.

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." - Thomas Jefferson

So if it did not have to goto the courts for ruleing, and was simply hashed out by the Democrat/Republican/Lib/ Party's would you have been O.K. with it? I agree that Infringement of rights should not be tolerated, but at this point of the game it is no more than someone telling you to pick the team you want to play on in a group of teams, and you are going to pick your team's captian...Later on down the road ( Elections) you can still pick guys from the other team  to lead the whole group of teams...

Do not accept evil as inevitable, fight it.

Your rights were not taken away by the vote, they were taken away by the force of arms, the only way to take them back is with the force of arms.

Chatting on the internet is a good start as long as it leads to forming a capable organization that can shoot move and COMMUNICATE.

Most crimes are frustrated by the mere presence of a firearm, credible force can restore the rule of law without harm, just as most rogue nations do not attack the U.S. becuase of its military strength.
