Voted

Nevada's primary election day is June 14. I dropped my vote-by-mail ballot into the post this afternoon. Local elections are a lost cause for the most part in this 80% Republican area, but as least I can have a minor amount of influence on the statewide offices. I voted for Kimi Cole for Lt. Governor, although if the numbers of splashy flyers in my mail is any indication, there's one candidate who has all of the big money behind her and is most likely to win. As other people have said, the primary is where you choose your party's candidate and therefore that's where I choose to use any influence I might have. In the general election, I will vote for the Democratic candidate as a matter of life or death for me and many of my friends. A vote in the general election for anyone other than a Democrat is a vote for the American Death Cult Party, formerly known as the Republican Party.

I would be really happy if Kimi were elected, though, which is why I contributed money toward her campaign.
