Just got back from voting!

Of course I voted for the most qualified candidate running this year >>>>>>>> Hillary Clinton! And was extremely proud to do so!

The crowd was brisk..... Saw quite a few Hillary ballots while waiting in line... Mostly women... wonder why that is??

GO HILLARY!

Plenty of Hillary volunteers holding Hillary signs though...

There were Trump signs too, sad to say.

The only problem was that they only had one name under president section, Hillary Clinton. No Bernie Sanders.

Probably the local party or a campaign organization. Look again.

Or even better, scan both sides and post the images. The DNC doesn't issue such sample ballots. Individual candidates often do, though, and other organizations sometimes do.

I'm certain you are incorrect about this.

24. Evidence..
Tue Mar 1, 2016, 01:20 PM
Mar 2016

I don't burn your posts into my mind, but are you also clamoring for h to supply her transcripts of her Wall Street speeches? Because we want evidence that she didn't sell out to the people who have paid her over half a million per speech.

Did we ever see evidence that the h campaign didn't also have access to Bernie's data? Because we want to know if it was a one way incident as well.

Evidence.

She based a vote on conjured up evidence and the net result was death. Death of our military personnel, death of children in the way, death of people have no place to run to.

Evidence seems to be another cherry picked meme.

But yes evidence should be released on all these issues, but no matter what everyone is damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I answered with a cartoon version of the implied misogyny.
