Global Primaries

The American presidential primaries are big this year. How big? Global.

I am sure that most everyone is tired of hearing about the primaries but you cannot deny that you are thinking about them. This election is a moment that I have been waiting for for the last 8 years, most of my adult life.

S registered to vote in our home state of MO, but I missed the deadline the to vote in the primary election. Not to worry, just vote in Germany. Yes that is right, after the uncounted absentee ballots from overseas voters last election (except for votes from those in military service) the Democratic party has organized a Global Primary in conjunction with Democrats Abroad. You do not have to have party affiliation and Republican as well as Democratic candidates were on the same ballot. Eleven delegates will be awarded representationally to the candidates.

If you cannot make it home to vote this year you can vote from Tel Aviv, Jakarta, Rome, Copenhagen, Mexico City, Kiev, Bangkok, Stockholm, London, Sydney, Phnom Pehn, Athens, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Paris, Stuttgart, and many other locations. Including Max and Moritz Wirsthaus here in Berlin where I voted last Friday evening.
