Lieberman is Still a Registered Democrat

Some people think that because U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman is now the nominee of a new party in Connecticut, that he can’t possibly still be a registered Democrat. However, he is still a registered Democrat.

Only eleven states prohibit someone from getting on the general election ballot by petition, if that person is a registered member of a qualified party: California, Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
