WTOP ^ | February 17, 2020 | Jack Moore

Super Tuesday is almost here. And if you’re a registered voter in Virginia, that means you get to weigh in on a crowded field of Democratic candidates running to challenge President Donald Trump. A total of 124 delegates are up for grabs — 99 of them pledged delegates, allocated based on the results of the primary.

I notice Freepers are posting about voting for Bernie on Super Tuesday. Virginia is an open primary state so any registered voter can vote on the Democratic primary ballot. This year there is no GOP primary ballot. I am going to Feel the Bern!!!

Virginia’s is an open primary — meaning any registered voter can cast a ballot regardless of their party registration.

Bernie seems to be doing pretty well in Utah; he’s polling at about 28% and the clear favorite. Might just switch my vote to Warren: 1/1024th Power, baby!

Vote Bernie. Sanders needs help to arrive at the Dem Convention with as many delegates as possible. A brokered convention will only result in Bloomberg buying the nomination.

We should get the word out to Republicans to vote Sanders in these open primary states. Also to change their affiliation to Independent for the states that require it. Let’s have a Sanders win and slaughter.

Alabama
Arkansas
Colorado
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Massachusetts (Primaries open for “unenrolled”/unaffiliated voters only)
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
New Hampshire
North Carolina (Primaries open for unaffiliated voters only)
North Dakota
Ohio (semi-open)
Oklahoma (Only Democratic primary is open to Independent voters as of November 2015)
South Carolina
South Dakota (Only Democratic primary is open to Independent voters as of November 2018)
Tennessee
Texas
Utah (for the Democratic Presidential Primary)
Vermont
Virginia
Washington (state)
Wisconsin

Good idea.

Voting for Bernie depends on how he is polling in your state. If he is far ahead, he doesn’t need your vote. If another Dem candidate has a healthy 2nd place position in the polls, vote for the third placing Dem candidate to help them get the 15% they need to get delegates— providing there is a strong possibility they could get 15%. This is what I would do if I were voting in a state that has a primary on 3.3 or earlier.

After 3.3, I would take a look at where the delegate count stood in order to make my decision.

Sweet! Thanks for this! Is 15% the magic number for all the states?

15% is the magic number for states voting up through Super Tuesday. After this date, reassessment of the 15% strategy is needed based on the standing of the candidates in the delegate count. One or two may drop out, anyway.

If Donald Trump is on a Republican ballot in your state, you should vote for him. There is so much indecision on the Dem side they don’t need us.

Operation chaos works best when you can convince a very large number of people to vote for one very down ticket candidate such as Tulsi Gabbard. The main purpose of this is not to prop them up, but to dilute the percentage of all other candidates.

Thanks for the heads up that VA is an open primary. I say we get bernie to win. I can think of no better person to represent the criminal gang that is the democratic party than the communist bernie sanders.
