Topic	Washington is forcing you to declare as rep or dem in order to vote
BlackScythe0 02/21/20 1:46:13 PM #26:	wolfy42 posted... WA state is forcing residents to declare on their voting ballets as either republican or democrat in order to vote for the primaries. Your declaration has to align with the vote inside as well. This has never been a requirement in the past (anywhere that I know of), and I think it's unconstitutional. You should not have to be a republican or a democrat (or declare as one) in order to vote. How are they even getting away with this? Primaries are a party thing. As long as they don't prevent you from voting on any official elections there is nothing unconstitutional about it, different states have different rules. <cite>BlackScythe0 posted [p:934690513] in Washington...
