They have opted out of voting in most partisan primary contests. In Florida they are still able to vote in nonpartisan races, judicial races, for or against referendums and amendments, and in partisan "universal primaries" on primary day.

Folks who don't want to identify with a party or be identified with a party should understand that they are also surrendering the opportunity to help shape that party.
