South Dakota Bill to Let Independents Vote in Primaries Advances — 3 Comments

  1. New forms possible with each election ???

    The moron bill has no deadline dates.

    NO primaries.

    PR and AppV

  2. What’s the difference between “designating a party primary to vote with” and just registering with a party?

  3. It’s a mental attitude difference. When one registers with a party, one is a member of that party, and some people are uncomfortable joining a party. So these people can now be happy internally that they are not joining a party and yet they can still vote in one party’s primary. It’s actually a creative idea, not duplicated in any other state.
