    If he wants to get his message out as long as possible, he should stay in the race even if he has no chance of winning.

    I thought it was odd that the Washington ballot included every Democrat candidate, including those who dropped out.
    I wonder how many votes those candidates got, or if they got assigned to Biden or Sanders (based on who the "drop out" endorsed).

    The ballots were probably printed way in advance Walt and rather than junk them and spend more money to print new ones they went with them. Besides which there are provisions for write-in candidates right? What's the diff? Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)

    Nope - no space for a write-in candidate.

    What's also funny, is that the ballot was for both parties ... so Donald Trump was listed as the Republican Party primary candidate.
    Why even bother?  There was no opposition, and no write-in option.

    Of course, I have an issue with taxpayer dollars being spent on the ballot/vote at all.
    There is no valid reason for taxpayers to pay for the election of private club candidates.
    Even if the vote is open to all residents, it's still a private organization - and that organization should pay for it.
    IMO, it's the most common and open example of corruption due to the "Two Party System" (which we don't have, Constitutionally speaking).

    True but the voters know who has dropped out.  The votes are still counted though...for who the vote was casted for.
