Comments on: Indiana Democrats suspicious of Republicans voting in primary, not so suspicious of illegal aliens http://hotair.com/archives/2008/04/03/indiana-democrats-suspicious-of-republicans-voting-in-primary-not-so-suspicious-of-illegal-aliens/ The world’s first, full-service conservative Internet broadcast network Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:03:33 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: darwin-t http://hotair.com/archives/2008/04/03/indiana-democrats-suspicious-of-republicans-voting-in-primary-not-so-suspicious-of-illegal-aliens/comment-page-1/#comment-1050546 darwin-t Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:32:09 +0000 http://hotair.com/archives/2008/04/03/indiana-democrats-suspicious-of-republicans-voting-in-primary-not-so-suspicious-of-illegal-aliens/#comment-1050546 Here's my take on it: The drive by media, the democrats and independents screwed me out of a chance to vote for anybody I could possibly support (i.e. Fred). This is just my way of paying them back for screwing me.

From what I remember, many who convert from one religion to another are not allowed to change their affiliation for government purposes. Is the next step to prevent Republicans and Democrats from switching parties? What are they going to say? "No, you're not allowed to vote. You haven't convinced me that you're really a Democrat?" Talk about disenfranchisement? It's nothing short of voter intimidation. Perhaps someone could bring Dan Parker and others making these threats under charges?

It's an OPEN PRIMARY. Twice I've tried to change my registration from independent to Republican and was told both times that it didn't matter and there was basically no way to do it. When you go to vote, you sign in, they check your signature against the rolls (after showing photo I.D. of course ) and they ask you which ballot you want. I don't know if they even keep track of which primary you vote in. As a lifelong Hoosier, I find this story odd. It’s an OPEN PRIMARY.
