Here are a couple things you might find useful

You might already know about these, but just in case....

Go here if you want to find out if so-and-so in your town is a registered Democrat or Republican:
You can check on your own name in there, as well, to make sure they have it right. Some of the results are bound to surprise you.

Political donations: Go here to see who your acquaintances have donated to and how much they donated. You can search by name or whatever. If you search by zip code, you can go right down the list of everyone in your town.

With things as divisive as they are, I want to know if the local businesses I support are run by Democrats or not. I'd rather support a Democrat-owned business of course. For example, my wife and I just ruled out a local restaurant we used to go to once in a blue moon because the owner is a huge Trump donor. To hell with that place from now on. The food often sucked anyway.

I want to know if someone new that I'm about to meet for business is a Democrat or a Republican so I can be on my toes if he or she is a Republican.

I want to know which of my friends....past, present, or future....are Democrats or Republicans for various reasons.

With things as divisive as they are, I find myself using those two search engines more and more these days.

I've been a registered Democrat and on town and county committees for over 10 years and I'm not on it.

For some reason, though, not everyone is on it, so I know what you mean. My wife have always been registered Democrats, of course, but for some reason she isn't listed on voter factory, and it bugs her, too. I find it useful, though, for all the people it does have listed.

are registered as Democrat or Republican? I realize these people are running as non partisan but they voted for someone and I want to know who they may have voted for. I have looked at the past info on them and it never seems to give that info.
