From Herald Net:
Something is absent from primary ballot envelopes now flowing into election offices statewide.
Anger.
During elections each of the past four years, voters who despised having to declare a political party in partisan races scrawled angry and sometimes hateful messages on envelopes and ballots.
In 2004, one Island County voter wrote “I won’t vote this Nazi ballot” in black marker on the envelope while Snohomish County voters jotted slogans such as “This primary sucks” and “Won’t participate!!” on their ballots.
