thinking of skipping primary voting
my state's primary is next week. I got my sample ballot in the mail and every Democrat is unopposed.

Should I even bother voting in the primary?

2. No other issues?
I'm surprised they are even holding the primary if everyone is unopposed. Are there no other issues or elections on the ballot?

4. more for the Republican governor nomination
both of the candidates are batshit crazy and the attacks have been nasty. I'm hoping they beat each other enough for us to stay blue.

3. Write your friends in. That way you're on record as voting, but not for the unopposed. nt

5. Make it a habit to vote in every election. That way when you never miss an important election.

If you miss one election then you might think it is okay to skip another election that may be important.
