I register as "Decline to state."
In the presidential primary, I had to declare which ticket I wanted to vote under. I think that was BS because I should be able to vote for whoever I want running on either ticket, but whatever.
I can vote in everything except Republican local tickets. I don't know if they are going to change that any time soon.
I chose non-affiliation for a variety of reasons. Some of what I would choose to be affiliatted with wouldn't go over too well with the dominant political powers. Also, my affiliation is a personal choice, in my opinion. I shouldn't have to report to the government shit about my political views. My views matter when I walk into a closed booth and vote according to my conscious, my mood, or a coin toss. Whatever method I feel--that's between me and the galaxy and that's it, as I see it.
