Well if they register as Republican on election day then they are no longer unaffiliated, are they? The title of the article is misleading.
No, it’s not misleading. When you show your ID at the polls, they check the voter roll and you get either a Republican or a Democrat ballot based on your affiliation. If you are unaffiliated on election day, you may declare it at the polls. Those voters were unaffiliated on election day.
Well if they register as Republican on election day then they
are no longer unaffiliated, are they?
*****************
That is pretty much how it works in Texas. They use a two year cycle
and on Primary day you select the party in which you want to participate.
Your voter card is stamp with whichever party you choose and you are bound
to that party for the remainder of the two year cycle, run offs, etc.
The Process starts all over at the beginning of the new two year cycle.
You receive your new voter registration card and your choice of party is
made at next the primary election.
Additionally in Texas if you move and don’t report it to the registrar then when
the voter card is mailed out and not deliverable at that address it is returned
to the registrar.
