first time voter in the Primaries
I have my location and plan to go at lunch. I have always voted Democratic for the presidential elections but this is my first Primary. I'm a little nervous. I know the candidates that I want to vote for but how complicated will the ballot be?

1. I voted this morning - very easy
The main competitive races are governor, lt governor, and US representative (in the 10th district anyway).

Many races are uncontested, and there are two resolutions at the end that is is very easy to support.

2. the ballot's very simple -- far fewer races than
there were for the general election in '04, for example. There shouldn't be any problem as long as you know where your polling place is. It might not be the place you usually go for elections, since the D's and R's have separate primaries, so check the newspaper or see if your county has that information online.

3. Don't be nervous! This was my first time voting in the primaries,
too, but it was easy! And there are fellow Dems floating around should you have any questions.

4. Thanks you guys
I t was very easy. It was kind of sad though because there was no-one there when I went. The lady that gave me my ballot said that I was the only one so far from my precinct.
