**** IMPORTANT PRIMARY VOTING INFO THAT MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ****

Pennsylvania is a closed primary state. Primary elections are party
elections, and you may vote only one party's ballot.

You declare your party affiliation when you register or by
re-registering at least 30 days before the election.

Only voters enrolled as members of a recognized political party may
vote
for candidates of that party in a primary election. You may choose not
to be
affiliated with a political party. A voter not registered with a
political party may vote only on ballot questions and referenda in the
primary.

Basically, there might be an important race in this primary that you
are
concerned about, but you will not be able to cast a vote in it because
your party affiliation is not the same as the people in the race in
which you are concerned.


If you learned something from this e-mail, pass this information along
to your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, strangers...
because if you didn't know this, then you know there are others who
don't either.
Please help getting the word out because informed voters are smart
voters who elect smart people.

thanks,
