Mitt Romney just made a savvy next step in his quiet, camouflaged 2016 campaign. Like a growing number of Americans, Romney refused to declare a political party when he filled out a new voter registration reform in Utah. It's the sort of party-rejecting step that could position a reinvented Romney to become America's first non-Democrat or Republican president since the 1800s.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the new Utah registration form completed and signed by Romney last August deliberately leaves out any party identification. As the Republican nominee in 2012 and a Republican candidate in 2008, this would seem to suggest either a rejection of his party or, perhaps, some sort of clerical error. Or maybe it's neither.

When did he move to Utah? Just recently? What’s up with that?
Might as well run as a Democrat.
Yes, he sold his house in Belmont, MA.
Scandalous. I’m sure it’s not a clerical error by the wizbang gubmint worker.
.
Besides, he's a Mormon and Mormons believe that Jesus and Lucifer for brothers. THEY STILL DO.
How WRONG can a faith be? If Mitt believes THAT they why would I want him in charge of our Christian country?
Because we elect people to run our secular government. We don’t have a religious test for public office in this country.
We elect a commander in chief, not a clergyman in chief.
Those are some reasons to vote for someone who practices a religion you yourself don’t follow.
Republicrat, Dimican—what difference does it make?
Romney left the party because of Reagan, became an Independent, appears to tell us in a debate that he didn’t vote for “Reagan/Bush”.
In time Romney gave money only to democrats, he fund raised for democrats and Planned Parenthood, voted for Tsongas in 1992, and rejoined the GOP in October of 1993, after Reagan/Bush was gone, and Clinton was in the White House.
Does he have to declare a party in Utah? Here in Michigan we don’t make a party declaration aside from asking for a republican or democrat primary ballot.
Hey, who wants to be an actual member of the Republican Party??? Those guys are creepy and waaaaaaay too Conservative. If you pass yourself as an an Independent, you can be more Middle-of-the-Road and support commonsense things like dictatorship of the proletariat, US citizenship for all 6 billion people on the planet, and free contraceptives for that Fluke girl.
It’s still wresking, stinking, purveyor of putrescence ROMNEY!!!!
People take religion into consideration, and especially Bishops in cults, who are members of the cult’s royalty and who at times would require secret service who are members of the cult’s elites.
Bishop Romney believes that he will become a God himself.
“We don’t have a religious test for public office in this country.”
You seem to have confused the legal aspects with the right of every voter to vote their conscience and to place their vote based on whatever they wish.
I will not be voting for Mitt RINOmney for many reasons, his cultic member status included.
Well, I certainly wonder, if the religious faith test is that important to some, how did they decide between Romney and Obama?? Both are big failures when you apply any sort of religious test to them.
People are free to vote based on whatever criteria they choose. If they are unwilling to vote for a Mormon, well, in 2012, we ended up with an irreligious president winning election instead. Was that really preferable?
“....this would seem to suggest either a rejection of his party or, perhaps, some sort of clerical error. Or maybe it’s neither.”
Way to go out on a limb.
You of course are free to vote on whatever criteria you choose. But in 2012, we ended up with an irreligious man winning the election. Is that preferable to a Mormon candidate? Perhaps you believe it is. You have the right to your opinion. It just seems odd that in applying such religious tests, a voter can end up with a secular humanist such as Obama, who clearly has disdain for religious faith in general.
Does he have to declare a party in Utah?
************
Optional according to the form shown here:

Our Lord Jesus was NOT brothers with Lucifer.
We do elect a commander-in-chief, though with Clinton we had a commander in BRIEFS. WHAT a sleeze-bag he was.
My point is that FAITH is important to me.
**Would you vote for an atheist for president?
**Would you vote for a Buddhist for president?
**Would you vote for a or Hindu as president?
**Would you vote for a Muslim for president?
**Would you vote for Mitt is he converted to Islam? If not, WHY not? After all, you said: "Because we elect people to run our secular government. We don’t have a religious test for public office in this country."
Faith may not matter to you but it DOES matter to me.
If it doesn't matter to you, then you WOULD vote for a Buddhist, Hindu, atheist or Muslim for president. Lol. I sure wouldn't. FAITH matters to me.
