I was hoping to vote for Chuck Baldwin, but it looks like I'll be forced to choose between either McCain or Obama. There are no third parties on this Oklahoma ballot :(.

It's just depressing getting a ballot and having to pretend there is any significant discrepancy between the choices.

Don't vote for that office, you have that right.

Who the hell says you HAVE to vote for a President? Vote for everything but President. Write in "NONE OF THE ABOVE." Or, maybe write in "Fuck off OK ballot access laws!"

For other offices, vote third party.

Since you shouldn't vote for ObaMcCain, I would just write in Ron Paul or Mickey Mouse or something.

You can't write-in in Oklahoma, unless you want your ballot thrown in the round file.

Do you mean that if you wrote in Mickey Mouse for President then they would throw away your entire ballot of other votes too?

Yes, because there is no write-in slot (at least for President, I don't know about other offices), so you would be defacing the ballot.

Write in "Ron Paul." At least you've done the best you could, in your case.

If you can't write-in. Vote democrat. Otherwise we won't be able to challenge in the republican primary in 2012.

Cross mark both the candidates, write FUCK U FRANK and then sign out with Ron Paul for president.

Enuff said.

Sadly, this is true.
