Call me dumb but how is it possible that Democratics can vote in Republician Primary? I don't

[Justice wanted]

understand. In PA during the Primary you get a Democratic sheet if you are Democrat or a Republican sheet if you are republician.

1. Michigan election law.

They do not have voter registration.

4. Actually, Michigan does have party registration now, but

voters can change their registration when they go to the polls on election day.

Back in the old days, there was no party registration at all.

Michigan native.

9. you are wrong. People in Michigan do not have to declare thier party

I was at the Secretary of State just last month to get my driver's license renewed. At that time, I re-registered to vote because my voter registration card had the wrong address on it and I wanted to make sure it was right. I did not have to declare a party affiliation.

10. I stand corrected. Thank you!

The system hasn't changed.

I have strong ties of family and friendship--I spent most of last year out there on family business--but I don't keep up as much as I should.

2. NYS is a closed primary too

3. Who are we to challenge the genius of Rush Limbaugh?

It must be good for America.


Is there a sweeter sound than the tears of Mitt Romney?

[AsahinaKimi]

7. hmmm

I think a sweeter sound might be the air rushing from Limbaugh's deflating ego.

5. There's "closed" primaries and "open" primaries.

Close primary means only party members can vote.

Open primary means anyone can vote in the party primary they choose.

Some states have "modified open" primaries which means party members can only vote in their party's primary, but independents can vote in either.

8. Massachusetts calls it being "unenrolled"

You can select a ballot from the party that you want to vote in, cast your vote, and then go back to "unenrolled" status the next another election.
