Primary Election Today
So today is the second day of the Democratic National Convention and primary day here in Oklahoma. Being a Democrat I got to vote. Since Oklahoma has a closed primary system only Democrats and Republicans can participate in the primaries. Oklahoma is notorious for it's ballot access laws and most minor parties are shut out of the process. I chose the more progressive Democratic candidates because even if they don't win (which they won't) I feel that in a Primary election you sould really vote for who you like, not who you think will win. That's reserved for the general election -- eventhough most of the people I vote for lose anyway.
