Hi Jay,

I was approached by one of the clipboard people outside a grocery store in Cambridge, Mass. He first confirmed that I was a registered voter. Then he asked if I was registered as a Democrat. I said no. This being Massachusetts, he was a little surprised. So he followed up, “Are you registered as an independent?” “Nope,” says I. This was followed by stunned silence. I think he was genuinely unaware that there was any other possibility. I continued into the store without further interrogation.

I’ve told the story about how after registering to vote in Arlington and then voting for the first time, my identity was looked up on the roles, and I was asked what the party status “L” meant. I explained “Libertarian”. …to which I got the response “Oh, you’re the one!”.
