BREXIT(?)

The original reason I never applied for US citzenship was to prevent Boeing from sending me on jobs for the US military, which were always in hot, sticky climates such as Louisiana and Mississippi. They needed Top Secret clearances, which resident aliens couldn't get. Since i've been retired from Boeing since Sept 1999, I could apply, but it's $1600 each to go through the processing. We've just renewed our resident foreigner cards for just over half that. I'll be 85 when the new one expires.

I don't think it's worth over $3K to get the right to vote. If there were primary elections to choose the Presidential candidates, we would have considered it, but when you get The Donald and Hillary rammed up your backside as your only choices, the urge to be able to vote disappears, at least for us.

Don't know about Washington State, but Illinois has primary elections to select party candidates. The Donald and Hilary were rammed by those who voted for them in the primaries. Their party primary opponents lost.
