so basically what youre saying is you voted for a rep in the republican primary since the early 90's yet you couldnt remember that you had done so that many times?
add to that, you were so confused you thought that you had actually voted for independents since 94?
thats either a pretty shitt memory ORRRRRR you full of shit...
i've voted in a few of those march or october little elections - state or whatever, local. I think as a teacher, there was once i went in with a list of which candidates i wanted, etc. but no, i can't tell you which primary, early season, or other elections I voted in back in 1996. Sorry.
Since Florida is a closed primary state, only voters who are registered members of the respective political party’s candidates can vote for those candidate nominees in a primary election. Typically that would be either one of the two major political parties (Republicans and Democrats) but it can also include minor political parties too if they have candidates for an office on the primary election ballot.
There are times when all registered voters can vote in a primary election, regardless of which major or minor political party they are registered or even if they are registered without a specific party affiliation:
1.If all the candidates for an office have the same party affiliation and the winner of the primary election will not face any opposition in the general election (i.e. no write-in candidates have qualified), then all registered voters can vote for any of the candidates for that particular office in the primary election.
2.If nonpartisan (i.e., prohibited from qualifying or campaigning based upon party affiliation) races (e.g., judicial and school board offices, nonpartisan special districts or local referendum questions) are on the primary election ballot, then all registered voters, including those without party affiliation are entitled to vote those particular races on the ballot.
At a general election, all registered voters receive the same ballot and may vote for any candidate or question on the ballot. If there are write-in candidates who have qualified for a particular office, a space will be left on the general election ballot where their name can be written.
