Primary Day

[CraftyExp]

Well, we thought it was primary day today, but guess we weren't paying attention.My husband and I walked down to Queen of Angels. We were told voting was only for Independents and some other party I can't remember. Yesterday we received our Board of Election cards, so thought that was a prompt. The women who were working said we weren't the only ones who made the attempt. Thought it was awful quiet in the area, no one standing outside with cards. And I see now that there are paper ballots and a scanner that you put your ballot sheet into. Reminds me of the ATM at the casinos... think money will drop out of it in November??

oh it was primary day. Maybe just nothing to vote on in your ward. We had a nasty race here in the first ward. They still are celebrating down the street blowing off fireworks....and it's just the primary!

people are taking this election very serious......especially me!

Just curious. Did you know who you were going to vote for, or were you just there to try out the new machines?

The Board of Elections is the information you should go by. Also, absentee ballots have not been listed yet. This process will take a few more days.
