LDII: Won’t Vote For Minnick, Labrador

LastDemoInIdaho: My issue with Minnick is that by most definitions he, like most of the Blue Dogs, are not really Democrats. They all should have been honest and signed up as independents, since they don't seem to fit in either party. That way we would have know what we were getting…truth in packaging, so to speak. Don't believe I will have the stomach to vote for him next Nov. Will leave the blocks blank.

DFO: I admit that I left more spots on my GOP primary ballot blank than I ever have before. I wanted to send a message to some incumbents, with my under-vote, that I wasn't happy with their performance. I'll probably vote for their opponent in the general election.

Question: Which spot(s) on your primary ballot did you leave blank?
