Not focusing on voter registration.

I registered Democratic when I became old enough to vote. When we moved to Massachusetts, my husband, who's more of a Democrat than I am, made a convincing case for registering "unenrolled," so we both did. (In Massachusetts, registering unenrolled allows you to vote in any party's primary and I continued voting in Democratic primaries).

When Kerry lost to Dimson in 2004, I was so mad I marched myself to City Hall the next day to change my registration to Democratic.

At no time did how I was registered affect a single vote I cast.

I could care less if Sanders is registered as an Independent.
