VOTE SHOULDN'T BE TIED TO PARTY AFFILIATION

What's the deal here, people? We live in a free country, and yet--in the state of Washington--we are supposed to pledge fealty to one party or another; just so we can vote?

Doesn't that just smack of fascism here?

I noticed an article in the Herald which said that 17,000 votes weren't counted in Snohomish because voters failed to identify which party they belong to.

Um...maybe it's because some of us are sick and tired of being tied to a broken 2-party system and we are voting independently?

Has our election officials figured that out yet? Maybe some of us are just tired of all the broken promises and the partisan flame wars which has consumed our seats of government--and are looking for a change in the status quo.

I for one don't care if these election counting nitwits don't count my vote. In my mind, I belong to no party. And when it comes down to voting, I will vote accordingly.

Because my message is clear on that front: Even this vote counts!
