Voters are asked to sign a pledge swearing they consider themselves to be Democrats. The party has been using the pledge since 1976 to ensure that voters don't cast ballots in two primaries on the same day, Erwin said. Where do they get the constitutional authority to do this? What if someone refuses to sign? Where is the ACLU?

Votes for Democrat candidate Lyndon LaRouche will certainly be ignored just as he was not invited to any of the debates.

[Babsig]

yes, I am going to vote for Al tomorrow and as for signing the "oath", a nice big "X" should do for my signature.

Democrats talking about lack of personal integrity?
Go put some ice on it.
ROTFLMAO.

[weegee]

Go ahead and cast your vote. There is no controlling legal authority to stop you.

It's been my experience, that when needless statements are made public regarding something that is essentially a non issue, something big is about to happen and if and when it does, voila, you already have an excuse to divert to.
I would advise keeping a close eye on that state's primary.

My parents, in their wisdom, always used to vote in the D primary in TX for precisely this reason when I was growing up. Looks like they were ahead of their time. I shall do likewise. Go Al go! ;)

And, of course, the votes cast by loyal democrats for the weakest candidates simply won't be counted.

If that were true nobody would have the nomination!
