should I vote in the GOP primary?

I'll probably vote in the Democratic primary.

But there is a school board position that I'd like to vote in because the two challengers are either a teabagger or unqualified. There is no Democrat running in that position.

I might also vote for a less-offending Senate candidate scumbag. I see Broun, Kingston, and Gingrey as the worst. As much as I despise Handel, I'd rather she be defeated by Michelle Nunn.

Any recommendations? I'll be voting in a few hours.

1. Check your local applicable laws.

n some places, they have language that makes it fraudulent if you vote in the opposite primary simply to try and subvert it by voting for goofballs. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone prosecuted for such, but it does exist in some places.

3. Thanks. That's what I'll do, then: stay in Dem primary.

I voted here in the 2012 General election. I moved here too late for the primaries.

2. I had the same dilemma.

I decided to vote Democratic. If nothing else, to show that we exist! Let the R's either deal with their crazies or live with the consequences.

5. I just voted a couple of hours ago.

I was only interested in voting for Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter. None of the Republican candidates are on the Democratic ballot.

6. I just didn't want a teabagger to win that school district

Post. The incumbent is willing to work with Common Core vs trying to destroy it in favor of a potentially weird home-rule system.
But I voted at noon, and I stayed in the Democratic primary. We had some county Dem issues to cover on that ballot. It was a lleasure to vote for Nunn and Carter. There was another Dem running that looked really great on his resume.
