Why do you guys need to register and choose a party? Makes no sense.
Why not just show up with your ID and vote?
Iowa is closed I think it's called. You have to register as a republican or Democrat to vote for your party. There are deadlines when you can do this. You just can't show up that day, change your party affiliation and vote. Seems kind of obvious why idk.Why do you guys need to register and choose a party? Makes no sense.

I can understand why it matters in primaries because parties could easily tamper with the system if it were too easy to switch parties. Like just picture a worst possible scenario, it could happen. We aren't all trustworthy.I'm not from the US.
Why though? Why should the state know your party affiliation? That's your privacy right?
In regards to voting, let's say you are registered as a citizen in Iowa, the only thing they need to do is send you a voting card and let you vote with your ID and that card in a voting booth.
I think this next election will be interesting as hell. Personally I have faith in humanity and think Trump doesn't have a chance to be elected.Vote in primaries. Not voting is what leads to the Dems nominating Biden to run in the General Election.
To answer the question in the OP, no, as I don't have a party affiliation.I can understand why it matters in primaries because parties could easily tamper with the system if it were too easy to switch parties. Like just picture a worst possible scenario, it could happen. We aren't all trustworthy.
Socialism!I like the EGS because it gives me free games for doing absolutely nothing.

Primaries are run by parties and can set their own rules state to state. Many parties don't allow non-party members to vote in their primaries or caucuses.
You do have to register to vote everywhere in the United States to vote in an election, though.
On the other hand, most states not only don't require photo ID to vote, and in about ~30% it's illegal to ask for ID as a requirement to vote. Photo ID is only required in conservative, Republican states (well... and Wisconsin and Michigan because who knows why)
Don't care about anything local?Only if bernie is still on there. He is the only one I actually believe a tiny bit as a politician.
My state is near the end. He might not be left by the time we vote. So if it's biden vs warren or whoever I might not vote.
I'm guessing the fix is in for Biden.
Whichever dem is left gets my vote 2020
