On March 6th, the Republican Party of Virginia will be holding its Presidential Primary at your local polling precincts. Polls open just like regular voting times, 6am to 7pm.
You have 4 choices: Vote for Romney, vote for Paul, stay home/don’t vote or show up and do an “undervote”.
Please do go to the polls and vote, if possible. More votes at the poll show more Republican strength.
An undervote allows you to vote (in person or absentee) by showing up, pressing the VOTE button without choosing either candidate. Some might consider it a “protest vote” or a “blank” vote, if you choice is not on the ballot but it counts as a vote in the Republican primary, without adding a vote to either candidate on the ballot.
You are NOT allowed to do a write-in in a Virginia Primary.
I would prefer the under vote but it does make sense make sense to try to deny Romney delegates. Reminds me of the questions kids sometimes ask each other, would you rather freeze to death or burn to death or would you rather be hit by the train or jump off this high tressel onto the concrete? Virginians Conservatives have been disrespected and taken for granted by establishment Republicans and left with a choice between Romney and his co-conspirator and I hope you are able to retaliate against some individuals in the future.
If 5 people “undervote” and Romney wins by 4 votes, then you handed him the win. 5 votes for Paul would change that to a win for Paul. Undervoting helps Romney.
