I vote Republican. I'm sure I must have voted in Republican primary elections , though I don't always and that might mean I'm a "registered Republican". In some states you would have to be a registered Republican to vote in the Republican primary. In my state (VA) you don't have to register for a party (or explicitly as an independent), you just register to vote. In some states you do register for a party or as an independent. Some states have open primaries where any registered voter can vote in a parties primaries (or in more than one). Other states have closed primaries where only people registered as members of the particular party can vote in that parties primaries. CA lets the parties decide if they want unaffiliated voters to be able to vote in the primary. Apparently in the 2008 primary the Republicans allowed outsiders in, and the Democrats did not. According to Wikipedia the states with open primaries are * Alabama * Arkansas * Georgia * Hawaii * Idaho * Indiana * Michigan * Minnesota * Mississippi * Missouri * North Dakota * South Carolina * Tennessee * Texas * Vermont * Virginia * Wisconsin en.wikipedia.org More detailed information is at fairvote.org
