I'm registered for absentee ballots, with the new "every election" option checked, and I don't know whether to be more angry that I didn't know this election was happening until this morning, or that I wasn't mailed a ballot.

This wasn't organized by the state, it was run by the democratic party.

Badly.

The governor gave them 2 weeks notice and set a deadline for Christmas, it's not the party's fault, they're doing the best they can for a district that starts in Richmond and goes to the NC border.
It was less than ideal but that was the point, be angry at the governor.

Nothing about the governor's decision necessitated the BS pledge of party allegiance.

Why does it matter and who cares? I don't even think they did require you to support the eventual candidate. They certainly didn't require you to swear party allegiance (no such thing in VA)

Out of all the things to be upset about with this primary that is surely the weirdest.

Perhaps from your perspective, and I can respect that. However, as a fairly far left independent who is sick and tired of the Democratic establishment's incompetence, the last thing I want is to make some sort of loyalty pledge. I'm also not ok with even a tiny erosion of our state's open primary system, which I personally find important. I believe in free, independent and private voting, and am not interested in "party loyalty" (even if I've never not voted D). Call me a dreamer, but these sorts of things are important to me.

It's amazing how much money doesn't materialize when flipping the legislature isn't at stake.

Whatever you think is happening is not happening

Yeah it’s a shame Donald McEachin didn’t give them more warning as to when he was going to die so they could put together a mail in election.
