..that means 35,000 did not vote for either Rep or Dem ?...Very hard to believe

If you are registered as an independent, you could not vote on a presidential candidate, just the proposition and local elections, if there were any.

Thank you, i forgot about that even though for 15 years as an Indep i could not vote for a candidate..I finally registered as a Rep.....

I also used to be against closed primaries..Now i can see why they are so necessary...to keep the Dem attack dogs out of our Rep primaries...grrr...
