>>You were not denied the right to vote, you could have voted. There was no candidate you chose to vote for so you left.
What about all the other offices? Did you not vote on those?<<

a) Who I vote for is my business, NOT some unelected bureaucrat telling me to vote for X or Y.
b) There were no other offices to vote in this a Presidential Primary. The State Primary I believe is in June, after the state convention of the RINOs.

You were not denied the right to vote.
Your state does not permit write ins apparently.
You chose not to vote for one of the candidates listed.
If you do not like how candidates are placed on your state ballot, fight to change the process.

If and when I choose to do write-in, I carefully research the available candidates whom I can write in, because if I put in someone not on the eligible list, I figure they will toss my entire ballot and be happy about it.

Watching the freaks in December 2000 taught me that.

The issue is this was a party nomination. No one has a “right” to vote, as it is not the national election. The party decides who can (only registered, indys, all, or whatever) and whether you can vote for write ins. If you dont like the choices, there is no legal remedy.

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.

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.
