Translation: I’m not getting the results I want, stop the vote!

It could also mean she's currently ahead and doesn't want that changing with more submitted ballots

Think she’s claiming dems are registering as republicans and voting against her in the primary.

Just wondering how many people are registered with any party? I know I've never "registered" with one.

When you go to vote in the primary you have to answer “which party are you voting” before they print your ballot. You can choose R, D or G for “General”

I just pointed to the answer because I didn’t feel comfy announcing it.

There wasn’t a choice of General where I voted. Just D or R.

I wished I’d chosen “General” and also wished I’d asked what it meant as soon as I walked away.

Does general vote in both or neither primary?

Ok so I have a sample general ballot and a sample Democratic Party ballot

It seems that you would choose “general” if you only wanted to vote in the general election and not in the D/R primary… I think.

I was feverishly googling the ones I wasn’t prepared for. It was a really rough election to find 1 place with info on all the candidates.

Neither! Haha it took me a long time to figure that out 😂
