"So, why does anyone in their right mind place their identity on a publicly available roll and signify their party preference?"

"I resemble that remark. In registering for my very first time, I was proud to register with President Trump's party. As for the fraudsters, eff 'em. They'll get theirs."

Some states don't make it easy to change your registration. In Ohio, for instance, you have to vote in two primaries in a row in order to be considered R or D based on which primary you vote in. If you want to be unaffiliated, you have to ask for an issues only ballot at the primary to vote on an issue and cannot vote for one of the candidates. And for that to work, there actually has to be an issue to vote for in any given year.

I was looking forward to voting for Bernie in the primary this year, but DeWine screwed with the primary schedule and by the time I figured out what was happening it was too late to vote.

I voted for Trump in 16 in order to mess with Kasich. I was more for Cruz at the time, but Ohio was winner-take-all and he had no chance of prevailing. I had a devil of a time getting my friends and family to not throw their vote away on him.

Then I extend the question...
Why does anyone vote in a glorified popularity contest?
The result of a primary DOES NOT place anyone in office.

If you don’t vote in either primary, can you change your registration to unaffiliated?
