I already voted and live in PRC Dist. 3. I left this slot blank. I usually will vote straight party, but skipped it this time. Could not vote for Block and would never vote for an "anti Democrat". So I left it blank.

I'm sorry you couldn't bring yourself to vote for Rick Lass. He is not "anti-Democrat." He works for the improvement of our democracy across the board. But he, and our party in general, have found it an uphill road. He has seen fit to endorse both Ben Ray Lujan and Barack Obama, and I presume will vote for them.

I don't live in his district but rather PRC District 1. I'm voting for Democrat Jason Marks, even though, as a Green Party member and officer, the Democrats have been virulently anti-Green on a number of fronts, seeking to limit our participation in the electoral process time and time again, here and across the nation.

If I had your attitude, I would be leaving quite a few races blank if I could not stomach voting for Democrats. As it stands, I am proud of my Green Party and will continue to fight for our inclusion on ballot lines, in debates (the lack of this most un-democratic), and in the public square, But I believe in working across party lines and seeking not merely a bipartisan, but a multi-partisan system in this wonderful diverse nation we have.
