1. At this point, IMO, the undecideds don't plan to vote at all. nt

2. I'm hoping they just decide to stay home, because if they can't see the difference by now...

...they are hardly worth talking to any more.

3. Yup. My niece is a so-called undecided. She admits that she hasn't voted in many years.

I checked. She's registered as No Party Affiliation (Florida).

4. Normal people have essentially carried non-voters for a while.

That kind of changed in 2016. We can't bear this burden forever.

8. T H I S

We have been pushing mud for years.

5. I'm also registered that way, but always vote Democratic.

I used to be a registered Democrat, then changed it a couple decades ago because I realized it was public record and my workplace managers acted so hostile to Democrats. It might seem cowardly of me, but the votes still count the same. (Can't vote in primaries here, though.)

Almost everyone is non-party affiliated in my area. I was surprised by the large percentage when I looked up the county absentee ballot requests by party a few weeks ago.

Oh, and I probably can't volunteer to work at polls anymore either. My mother was a poll worker supervisor, and we were the two Democrats at a precinct one year.

I might change it back someday, but it hasn't been a big problem for me.

Edit: I've chuckled to myself a few times by other posters here who seemed to think I voted for a candidate they hate in the primaries. Lol. I'm more progressive than most Democrats, so my first preference likely won't get nominated anyway.

7. I never registered as any party in OH, but once you vote in a primary,

you have to request a ballot for either Democratic or a Republican party. And that's how OH assigns you to be either a Democrat or a Republican.
Voters who haven't voted in primaries (or at all) will therefore be unaffiliated.

9. I voted for Jerry Brown in 1992. I think that was...

... my last primary vote.

Worked at polling places back in those days too.

Many thanks to the people doing it this time, but this is definitely one election when I wouldn't do it!

I later had to request a switch to no-party, but can't recall the details at all now.

10. I have always been a Dem. In 1992, I was for Harkin.

The thing that made me happy about voting for Bill Clinton was, ultimately, his attitude towards Jerry Brown. At some point, the field had been narrowed down, but Brown was still in there during some national debate on TV. He answered some question in his raspy voice and then gave his 1-800 number for small donations.

The moderator tried to intervene and Bill Clinton haw-hawed! "We all know Jerry's 800 number!". I swear, he was *this close* to handing it out himself.

That sold me on Bill Clinton. I knew he actually liked Jerry Brown.

11. I still later voted for Bill and I was thrilled that...

... we finally had a Democrat in the WH again.

I was driving when it was announced on the radio that he won, and I let out a yell of joy! Then a cop pulled me over for supposedly driving 5 mph over the speed limit, but he let me off with a warning. Lol. I later wondered if he saw me celebrating just as I drove past him.

Edit: I think cops were allowed to lurk in the shadows in those days. They always park with their lights on now.

6. That's Great News!

I am being cautiously optimistic..
