Besides, how do you know that the people sending the information are actually registerd Democrats? The only way you would know for sure is to look at their voter registration card! Heck some very venomous things about the candidates could be coming from the other party or even a so-called third party or other special interest...

I'm OK with not voting in the primary elections for the time being. In terms of the comments that I received via emails - they are coming from people who identified themselves as 'card carrying Democrats.'
So, I don't have to look at their voter registration cards.
