TX.
****************
In Texas you do not register by party, rather you register as a voter. At Primary time
you select which party’s primary you wish to vote in, your card is stamped as such and
you are tied to that party for any runoffs. At the end of the two year cycle you are issued
a new voter registration certificate and the process starts over again.
If I were a Texas’ legislator I would vote to change it’s voter registration system. It’s fine to register as an independent if one wishes. I am totally opposed to allowing the occasion of arriving to vote in a primary as when a party is chosen. I believe it manufactures primary results NOT aligned with the party-committed voters; those who have previously already made their party designation, not those doing so for convenience of swaying a primary.
