TOMORROW TUESDAY, MARCH 10 the following primaries will takes place:
Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Washington, North Dakota, and it will be the last day for democrats living abroad to cast their vote.
If you are 17 years old in Idaho, Mississippi, or Washington then you CAN cast a vote tomorrow if you will be 18 by the general election.
As someone who canvases and has friends who are team captains let me just tell y’all that if you want Bernie Sanders to win you HAVE TO go out and vote in the primary. IDK how many times I hear people talk about how excited they are to vote for Bernie in the general but either don’t know about the primary or think it’ll just all work out and they can vote for him then.
And I’m just going to tell y’all that the numbers in Mississippi, Missouri, and Washington ARE NOT LOOKING GOOD!
But guess what? In 2016, Hillary was expected to win Michigan by 30 points and ended up losing to Sanders. It is possible to create major upsets you just have to get out there and VOTE TOMORROW!!
Lines are going to be ridiculous because they are trying to discourage y’all from voting. Stay in line, bring water and snacks, bring extra ID, and stay ahead of their bullshit!
There are still two-thirds of the possible delegates available so it’s not even close to being over yet. A lot of people think voting in the primary doesn’t matter but this is where you determine the direction you want to party to go & if you prefer Bernie over Biden then here’s the following schedule for the primaries:
“Democrats abroad” primary - (March 3rd to March 10th) If you are a democrat living outside of the United States this is your time to cast your vote. [website]
In 2016, there was major flaws with in-person voting in states like Arizona. This election is exactly the same, with states like Texas and California having people in line waiting past midnight LONG after polls were supposed to close. This is blatant voter suppression and is meant to discourage you from voting. If you don’t have mail-in ballot in your state MAKE SURE to prepare for the worst: wear comfortable clothes, bring water, bring snacks, and get ready for whatever fuckery they might try to pull so bring an extra ID.
If you work on the day of your primary or caucus HERE IS A WEBSITE that allows you to check your state’s laws on time-off voting. This will tell you info on the following:
How long your job is required to give you?
What exceptions there might be?
Whether or not it’s paid time off.
If you have to give advance notice.
Do you need to show your employer proof of voting?
How to volunteer
You can also phone bank, text bank, or canvas for Bernie. Even if you’re in a state that already voted you can still do all these things! You ARE allowed to canvas out of your home state. Check your area, there are events happening everywhere or you can host your own. ALSO!!! volunteer as a poll worker if you can
AND!! if you’re fluent in multiple languages you can really help to get the vote out in communities that often get overlooked by campaigns.
This is the current delegate count BTW:
And you can expect Bloomberg. Buttigieg, Klobuchar to pledge the few delegates they have to Biden, and who tf knows what Warren is doing at this point so GO OUT AND VOTE
If you are only 17 and want to vote for Bernie in the primary you might still have a chance!! If you will be 18 by the general election (Nov. 3, 2020) then you can still vote in the following states:
Idaho, Mississippi, and Washington allows 17 year olds to vote in their March 10th primary
Illinois and Ohio allows 17 year olds to vote in their March 17th primary
Alaska, Hawaii, and Wyoming allows 17 year olds to vote in their April 4th primary
Connecticut, Delaware, and Maryland allows 17 year olds to vote in their April 28th primary
Kansas allows 17 year olds to vote in their May 2nd primary
