Washington State has recently required that we register our party affiliation, due to a Supreme Court decision that was reviewed for another state. I hate it! We are a State that has a large contingent of Independents (at least on the West side) but now we cannot participate in the primaries unless we pick a party ahead of time. What became of our right to privacy of the vote, if we must declare a party? This makes vote tampering all the more easier imo.
