Due to budget cuts, Washington State has canceled its next Presidential primary  :lulz:

The state estimates it would save about $10 million by scrapping the primary, which was mandated by voters in a 1989 initiative but has met with limited acceptance from the state's two major political parties.

Democrats essentially ignore the results of the primary, choosing all of convention delegates through the precinct caucus through state convention system. Republicans have used varying formulas to award at least part of their delegates from the results of the primary and the rest from the caucuses. In 2008, the split was about half and half.

They could probably cancel the NC presidential primary also.  Our primary is so late that it doesn't matter anyway.  I can't remember the last time the presidential candidates for both parties weren't already set before we get to vote.
I will answer ANY prayer for $39.95.*

This pleases me.

When they were collecting signatures for the open primary measure here, I would always decline to sign by saying "Oh, no thank you, I don't believe in primaries".

I've told pollsters that I don't believe in the existence of the government.  They leave me alone, and quickly.

I think that all primaries and caucuses should be held in every state on the same night. Not only does it prevent states like New Hampshire influencing who will be our presidential candidates, but the idea of the uncertainty is kinda fun. It's like an election night pregame.

I don't have a problem with primaries. I just like to say things that fuck with political activists.
