I had voted for Elizabeth Warren by mail sending my ballot in long before it was due. Then she dropped out of the race. Fortunately I have a friend who has worked elections for decades and she informed me I could spoil the ballot and how to do that. I just received my ballot for August's primary and I'm not turning it in yet. I just read that Mallory McMorrow just dropped out of the race.

Most people don't know they can request a new ballot and what steps you take to do that. It's only a slight inconvenience. I'm glad the word is out there at least from this article.
