I'm not voting for a Democrat in Oregon this month....

[Flabbergasted]

Apparently I'm registered non-partisan and I can't vote in any of the big races. I thought I was registered Democrat.

I'm so dissappointed...I've been waiting to vote for months.

:cry:

1. I'm so disappointed for you --

Especially since it will probably MEAN something this time around!

This is the first time I've voted when the outcome hasn't been a foregone conclusion, and I would have been devastated if I hadn't been able to.

:hug:

[Flabbergasted]

3. Thanks....I'll be reregistered in November....nt

[Maddy McCall]

5. Noooo.

Don't wait until November. I believe that, in most states, registration ends a month before the election.

[Flabbergasted]

9. I meant to say "for November." nt

[gateley]

19. OT --

Maddy, I know I'm in the minority here (maybe just a minority of one) but your frog gives me the willies, so I'm not missing him/her during Defcon 1.

Until normalcy resumes, I don't have to read your posts REALLY REALLY FAST and scroll on down!

I'm sure you wanted to know that.

[Maddy McCall]

23. It REALLY doesn't matter to me what you think.

Or what anybody else thinks. I love my frog. He's staying as long as I do. If you're such a sensitive nellie that you can't bear to look, that's something you need to deal with. Not my burden.

24. Fernando is part of who Maddy is - so I will defend her.

I've known Maddy and her frog for YEARS - and I still love her even though we currently disagree with our choices of candidates.

25. Smooch.`

I love you, too!

And that's Frederico. :D

:hug:

[gateley]

27. There's nothing to defend -- it wasn't an attack.

It was honestly a friendly post on my part. ATTEMPT at a friendly post, I guess I should say.

So I extend my apologies to you to. Won't be trying that again any time soon.

[gateley]

26. Believe it or not,

that was an attempt at a friendly post on my part. Sorry.

Maybe I should have used the sarcasm smilie when I said I was sure you'd want to know how I felt.

Again, sorry I tried.

2. aaaargghhhh nooooooooooooooo

Dammit. Somebody should have called you. I thought the campaign was catching everybody. Oh dang dang dang. I'm crying with you. :cry:

[Flabbergasted]

6. Atleast it's only one less vote for Obama. I looked forward to voting in the other

races as well.

[sandnsea]

13. I hope it's not the first sign of a larger problem n/t

[Maddy McCall]

4. If I were you, I'd go vote on affidavit...

I don't know that it'll matter, but at least you can participate.

[ericgtr]

7. Sorry to hear that, my wife and I double checked a month ago to be safe

didn't want to miss my chance to vote for Obama.

[littlebit]

8. That sucks

I voted in the NC primary 2 weeks ago for the first time ever. I was really excited to be able to do it. It finally felt like it matered.

[Parche]

10. I Am Flabbergasted..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


As long as you re register as a Dem and vote for Steve Novick.. Like I am

:woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi:

[Flabbergasted]

12. If he wins sure....nt

[DMorgan]

11. If you had the interest in politics, why didn't you have an interest in

finding out how you were registered?

A simple phone call would have cleared this up for you months ago.

The road to Hades is paved with good intentions, Suggest you re-assess your life, and your priorities.

Don't look for pity here.

[depakid]

15. Some folks in Oregon don't like Democratic Party has become

and can't in good conscience associate themselves with it. Not to imply that the OP feels that way- necessarily but I fully and completely understand (and RESPECT) those who do....

[gateley]

20. Well I don't think s/he was looking for PITY --

and I'll no where NOT to come if I just need someone to express my frustration to.

Welcome to DU! :eyes:

[depakid]

14. It's a pretty paltry ballot is you didn't reregister Dem

I'd still urge a NO vote on measure 53.

Making property forfeitures without a criminal convictions easier- and giving the proceeds to law enforcement is a PROFOUNDLY BAD idea....

[Old Codger]

21. YES

Especially since it is another attempt to get rid of something we voted in not that long ago, they just don't believe us the first time around I guess... We definitely need to vote that one down.

22. Yep- and get this: it was referred to the ballot by THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE

[anigbrowl]

16. That's a bummer...

but don't let it get you down. You can still put up yard signs, talk to your neighbors, and help GOTV on election day. Meantime, put a smile on that sad face and think about November!

[pdx_prog]

17. I'll cast my vote for you then.....

Hope you like Obama...:)

[graycem]

18. Ah, that bites. :(

I feel your pain though. I had to move to Texas temporarily and planned on voting absentee in Louisiana since I still have my home there and it is officially my home, but my car insurance company forced me to change my license so I had to register in Texas. I'll be able to vote in November, but I too didn't get to vote or caucus in the Texas primary. Probably didn't matter since this area is mostly Hillary or Huckabee, but I just wanted to have that feel good moment of voting for Obama. Ah, November will be here soon I suppose. :)
