Let me ask something to those that probably know more than me...
1. You need to register to vote.
2. Why do you designate a party affiliation if you can just vote for anyone?
3. Said party affiliation during the primaries actually matters right? I recall people on both sides being upset they couldn't vote, and that apparently if you're registered independent you can go either way?
Thank you.
Party affiliation may or may not affect whether you can vote in that party's primary, depending on state and local laws.
