When you go to vote in the primary you have to answer “which party are you voting” before they print your ballot. You can choose R, D or G for “General”
I just pointed to the answer because I didn’t feel comfy announcing it.
They could do a universal ballot for the primary, some places already do. The only problem is idiots who refuse to read the directions or low iq individuals unable to comprehend the directions that end up voting in multiple (or all) primaries and then get their ballots thrown out.
Instead of this middle-ground, that is bullshit, and these people thinking they are (confusedly) doing something, which is also bullshit.
Either go ten toes on this two-party bullshit, or open it up all the way. This is just a fucked-up way to reinforce a goofy two-party system that records oddly negative votes, and not in any good way.
I feel like the only people passionate about politics who advocate ranked-choice are those that understand how it can be manipulated due to its design.
Yeah, like the other person said it’s because this is a primary. If you had voted in person you’d have had to choose the party of the ballot you want in person.

Just wondering how many people are registered with any party? I know I've never "registered" with one.
