30 second vote

Yesterday I took advantage of Florida early voting, placing my vote for the presidential primary.  Since the elections office is literally next door to my office it is incredibly convenient.  Since I am technically still a registered republican I am only allowed to vote in the republican primary per state voting laws.  I thought it was odd that the ballot included every single candidate that had declared themselves a candidate even if they dropped out of the race at this point.  I voted for the only republican candidate that seems to still have a grasp on reality and has not participated in the endless stream of mud slinging and name calling, John Kasich.  Of course as is often the case with a sensible candidate, he has little to no shot of winning but at least he is fighting the good fight. The ballot only had one other local question on it so filling it out was a 30 second process followed by two minutes waiting for an elderly voter to understand the process of inserting his ballot into the electronic scanner.
