Some primary updates and overseas ballots



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Chafee knocks off wingnut candidate in Rhode Island in GOP primary and Benjamin Cardin appears to have defeated Kweisi Mfume for the Maryland Senate in the primary race. Both now prepare for very tough battles in November. In Tucson Arizona, the GOP extremist candidate is leading the moderate for an open Congressional seat. Lots of campaigning, surely a lot more fear coming from the GOP, but I wish November was here today.

Overseas, ballots for November should have been received by now or will be coming out soon so we can all start the process of sending in our ballots via certified mail (which is not cheap) and have them dumped in an obscure basement somewhere to be forgotten. Ahh, the taste of democracy. Luckily we have worthless overseas political organizations who can never get any interest in DC to change things despite the millions of Americans living abroad. As a group, we are larger than many states but thanks to the well oiled machines that want to represent us (or at least pretend like they want to represent us so they can get an audience because they lack a social life) overseas, our ballots seem like they are so worthless, but ours will be heading out soon enough anyway. Ugh.
