[Today’s run: Watson Road 3.5 miles]
Today was the Mississippi primary and we toddled over to West Lowndes High School and did our thing.
I’m not sure if I have ever voted in a primary before, maybe in Illinois. Iowa has a caucus and Colorado has a caucus. Caucuses are kind of interesting because you get to talk to other people and make a case for a candidate, if you so desire. Primaries are just another vote. (I think, in the misty past, I once voted in a Democratic Primary in Chicago. Then I had to dodge party solicitations until the next round when I changed back to Independent.)
I voted in the Republican primary. The ballot had US Rep, US Senator and President on it. The President position was interesting because there were a lot of names on there that are no longer active in the election. I wonder if any of those folks actually will get many votes?
And they had “write in”. But I already have a job and I don’t want to move to D.C. anyway. And which of my friends or acquaintances would I like to send into such a position?
The polling place was not overly busy, but there were people in the booths when we arrived, around 10 am, and people coming in when we left. So I guess that means a steady stream.
