It's great to get excited about the election. Really it is. I love seeing people engaged and talking issues and discussing politics. I love that people are really feeling the need to vote and make their voice heard.
That being said, I have to say that despite the feeding frenzy known as Super Tuesday, Wisconsin's primary is Feb. 19. Not yesterday, as some voters thought:
Wisconsin's primary isn't until Feb. 19. But extensive news media coverage of the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses apparently led some voters to believe that Wisconsin was one of the 24 states voting Tuesday, election officials said.
Some 200 voters called the Milwaukee Election Commission to complain about closed polling places, said Neil Albrecht, the commission's deputy director.
It's understandable if you've been paying attention to national news. All we've been hearing about is Super Tuesday (as well as the Superbowl). But Wisconsin isn't part of that. February 19. Write that down on a Post-It note. Don't forget it. And I'll see you at the voting booth then.
Love,
Viv
