Political parties keep me from voting

I did not vote my primary ballot. I had no choice.

I wanted to vote my choice, not be required to define my political preference. As a result, I did not submit my vote in this primary election.

Even though a candidate for sheriff and county clerk in Snohomish County did not get a specific choice for my vote, I’m sorry. I guess I will need to live with the consequence of that decision and the outcome.

I will wait for the general election, where I have a choice supposedly not controlled by political parties (machines) who want me to vote their limited ticket and not allow me a choice because of a court decision.
