In a first, US independent turnout tops Democrats, ties Republicans, Edison Research says - Lemmy.World

Don’t kill me, but I actually registered as a Republican so I can vote in their primaries and other elections, and have a say in who gets elected instead of choosing the Democrat that will get voted out of my Republican state…

Of course, recently, I’ve always voted blue unless the Dem is a massive jerk for some reason.

I’m stuck as a “Republican” until the next primary. Ohio automatically registers you with the party of the last primary you participated in and doesn’t allow changes or revocations other than choosing a different primary next time.

If I’d known that ahead of time I wouldn’t have bothered with my pointless protest vote against Trump in this year’s Republican primary.
