I hope you’re registered to vote. Monday (Feb 9th) is the deadline to register to vote to participate in the upcoming primaries. It seems to me that the general election doesn’t matter – the primaries seem to be where the big decisions are made. That’s my opinion. You cannot register to vote online but you can print out a voter registration form from a computer and mail it in.
