Election: Democrats have the write-in option

Re: “Not feeling the Bern” (editorial, 3-31).

Citizens are mad at the government because it doesn’t represent their views. The majority of Washington Democrats who caucused voted to nominate Bernie Sanders as their presidential candidate.

The superdelegates remain committed to supporting Hillary Clinton. If she becomes the Democratic presidential candidate, Sanders’ supporters should write his name in when they vote for president in November. At least their voices will be heard.
