I went to vote in the Delaware primary today as a registered Republican. I was going to cast my vote for Governor Sarah Palin, as a write-in. After I entered the voting booth, I was told that write-ins are not permitted. I was not offered a provisional ballot, as they should have done. So I walked out without voting.
I have already called the Department of Elections, who referred me to my State Rep. No call back yet. Will keep you updated.
Whine, whine, whine.
Its a party primary, not an election. “Rights” are different animals in primaries. You don’t have the right to vote in a primary ... many are restricted to just members of the party, and many States restrict you to those on the ballot.
You chose not to vote.

Why don’t you just for Newt (like Sarah and Todd Palin actually did in Alaska), that way you can stick it to Mitt and actually might make a difference!?
Did you ask for one? Not all poll workers are up on the procedures as they should be, and some from the opposing party might "inadvertently" fail to mention it.
You DID vote, you voted “none of the above.” I hope you made sure your ballot was destroyed or otherwise made unavailable for someone else to enter a choice.
You don’t get provisional ballot if you want to vote for a non candidate.One has to have qualified for the ballot as a write in candidate before you can write them in.
No state law states how one can qualify as a write in candidate she did not run to be a write in therefore you can’t vote for her.Has nothing to do with your right to vote.She isn’t running to be voted for.
