How does one become a member of the Republican or Democratic party in

You raise your right hand, say "Democrat! Democrat! Democrat!" and
spit over your left shoulder. At least that's how it worked for me.
No, actually, it varies from state to state, but as I recall -- and
I've been registered in several states -- you just pick one when you
register to vote.
Speaking of which, I just returned from the post office, where I mailed my wife's voter registration form (tomorrow is the last day for mailing them to still make them effective for the February 5th primaries). She changed her affiliation from R to D. I changed my affiliation in that direction several months ago. We have been voting for most of the Democratic candidates for some time.
