In many states you do not register by party. SeattleVet Apr 2019 #1

No party registration here loyalsister Apr 2019 #2

Absolutely not. Democrats choose the nominee. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #8

I think this hurts us but you can still register as a Democrat. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #9

I don't want to register loyalsister Apr 2019 #14

Primaries should be eliminated. Jokerman Apr 2019 #3

I think that is an interesting idea but Voltaire2 Apr 2019 #4

True. It would have to be accompanied by finance reform. Jokerman Apr 2019 #5

I disagree. Our system is fine. But not everyone likes the outcome. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #7

We have this system in CA sacto95834 Apr 2019 #20
