Super Tuesday: I’m Not Allowed to Vote, But I’m Going Anyway

February 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Today is Super Tuesday. And my state denies me the right to vote solely because I refuse to crawl into bed with a particular party. I considered changing my political affiliation (or lack thereof) just so I could vote in this election (because I think this is a very important election, more than usual). But I didn’t. And I won’t. I refuse to conform to the system we’ve been forced to comply with, I refuse to further perpetuate the false dichotomies that the powerful elites have given us, and I refuse to let an institution do my thinking for me. I will continue to remain aggressively nonpartisan. So today I am not officially allowed to cast a vote, but I will visit my precinct regardless. I hope they’re ready.

Closed primaries are divisive and unconstitutional. Fight the power!
