Whether you prefer your blue more greenish or purplish, there’s a delegate for you!
As the headline says: today (May 27) is the last day today, 5/28, at 4:15* is the DEADLINE for Democrats to request a ballot to vote for whomever their preferred Presidential campaign will have as its convention delegates!
(The asterisk is up there because while the FINAL deadline is at 5:00, you will want to start by 4:15 so that you can find your drivers license and such. So, prospective voters should stop procrastinating and get the damn thing done!)
You have two links that you can click to order your email ballot (which will be sent to you, and I believe counted by, your candidate’s campaign.)
If THIS LONG LINK (intended for everyone) doesn’t work, then at least BERNIE VOTERS can try bit.ly/RequestBernieDelBallot. If anyone knows where Biden voters can go to — and yes, I mean what ballot request website they can go to; don’t get crude — please let me know so I can update.
If you are a Democrat who voted for another candidate, you can just choose whichever camp you wish. (Arguably, this is unethical, but that will just be an added draw for some of you.) The exception is for Bloomberg voters in CA-48: you actually won a delegate! According to the plan the CDP adopted before an election, the last delegate in that district is supposed to go to a male, but in this case there are only two candidates — one male, and the other married to Rep. Harley Rouda.
(Any instructions that come with your ballot will supersede what you see here; i am just trying to make sense of the rules as written, and CDP doesn’t always abide by them.)
In the past, aspiring delegates have provided candidate statements and responded to questions. No provision has been made for such statements (or for questions), but various people may be putting up a Facebook page for them. We may also provide a home for them here. I have no idea (nor does anyone else) how long they will be, if they come to exist.
This from Yenni Diaz and Oscar Rodriguez, looks good to me:

I’m running, but with ambivalence, as I neither want to sign (or fail to honor if I did sign) the agreement with the Bernie campaign that would require me to submit my social media postings for approval to them prior to publication.
I’m voting for myself out of the belief that I’ll either be able to talk them into making an exception or otherwise just give up the seat. I would not mind seeing Ken win, but I can’t imagine him abiding by such a provision either. I’m just challenging it rather than ignoring it.
“Margot” in CA-49 is really Emma Jenson. One reason I’m not always on point with my fellow lefty activists is that I get impatient with errors like that.
*Why don’t we make this simple: If you want to overturn Fascism and hate in this country….and want Biden/Harris.OK….you can go to the Convention. If you watched
the Jeffery Epstein Limited Series on Netflix….you can go to the Convention. If not…
GTFOOH!
