I just have what I think is a pretty simple legal question for you legal eagle type guys out there.

I'm about 90 % sure I will vote for Elizabeth Warren for President in the CA Democratic primary.

Is there a way I can do that and still vote for Chasten Buttigieg for First Lady?  :console:

Chasten Buttigieg goes from opening act to fundraising star

Quote

Chasten Buttigieg has gone viral on social media and supported his husband on the presidential campaign trail. Now, he’s playing a new role for Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 bid: rainmaker.

Chasten is slated to be the sole headline draw for several Pete for America fundraisers over the next month, starting with an event in Chicago this week. In October, Chasten will swing through New York City for another fundraiser, followed by a trip overseas to raise money from Americans living in London on Oct. 22, according to event invitations obtained by POLITICO.

“He’s something of a secret weapon for this campaign,” Pete Buttigieg told POLITICO. “One of the things you need to do on a campaign, especially when you’re new on the scene, is introduce yourself and convey your values to as many people as possible. Chasten, through his own story and his own approach and his focus on making sure that people have a sense of belonging, really embodies a lot of the values of this campaign.”

Chasten’s spousal status stands out in its history-making context: He appeared on Time magazine’s cover with an arm around Pete and under the headline “First Family.”

"Chasten is introducing America to what a same-sex couple looks like,” said Stephanie Cutter, a Democratic consultant, who served as Barack Obama’s deputy campaign manager and Michelle Obama’s chief of staff. “In that, he does a remarkable job of humanizing Pete, a candidate who is already very relatable.”
