Just got back from my precinct. They had to inform me that I couldn't vote for trump. I was a registered dem. I said I know. They said you wouldn't believe how many people had walked out and not voted when they found out they couldn't vote for trump. They explained that it was a primary and not the general election. But they said most people left when they were told they couldn't vote for him. I asked if it was a lot. They nodded, sadly. These are registered Dems wanting to vote for him. This is bad. I hope it's just this area.
