I waiting til the end of the month to return my mail-in ballot, which I'll place in the drop off ballot box in our city's library, because I want to see which two Democratic candidates have the highest poll numbers. I consider which of those two candidates I'll give my vote to to ensure at least one Democrat is in the general election. If both Democratic candidates are leading then the one in second place will get my vote to make sure both in the general election.
