I'm trying to come up with the most absurd comparison ever coined.

I went to the polls to vote today and was told that I could only vote
for people who belonged to the party for which I was registered. I'm
not sure why I didn't already know this. I wound up not voting, making
appropriate comments and leaving before they called the police. (Well,
maybe not quite that bad).

I want someone to complete the sentence, "That requirement is even
more absurd than...." (I don't think tits on a boar hog or balls on a
priest would be printed) I plan to compose a letter to the editor
blasting the legislature that passed the requirement.

I be thnkin' ye.

P. S. Barn folks making 'marks 'bout Bama will not be corn-cidered.

It's called a party primary. If you want to vote in the party's primary,
you ought to be a member of the party.

I guess I never voted in a primary before because I don't recall
voting for a Democrat for a major office since Nam.

How often can one change his registration? Can it be changed before
every primary if one wishes?

In Tennessee, you just declare which primary you're voting in
before you vote. You can vote in either, just not both....unless you
know the right people.


works that way in Indiana. you have to declare a Party when you
register, but you can vote in either party's primary when you vote.

I'm regestered Dem, but have voted GOP in the primary only because the
Dems' slate was uhm non-existant.
