text: In reply to message55483: Not in FL. FL, independent votes independent primary. I was registered Dem for more than a decade, voted in primary for worst candidate and in election for best/winner! Method to my madness. I am from Chicago, where the motto is "Vote early, vote often". Whole fam was Dem (Dad had to for job & promotions in the USPS), moved to FL and maintained the Dem registration with Repub voting, as I said, for more than a decade.
