SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California voters will be able to change their party affiliation and update their address at polling stations on election day under a new law approved in time for the March 3 Democratic primary.
...
The change was particularly sought as it will allow the states 5.6 million independent voters to register with a party by signing off on only one form on election day. Democratic presidential campaigns hope the law will boost the number of registered Democrats and participation in their primary.
...
No party preference voters make up 28% of Californias registered voters.

(91,951 posts)Democrats, no party preference to have a say in choosing the Democratic nominee
The California republicans only allow registered republicans to vote in their primary
In my view allowing non-Democrats to vote for the Democratic nominee is insane
In Illinois Lipinski won over Nerman because of their open primary, and republican cross over votes
In fact there is a republican movement in SC encouraging republicans to vote in the Democratic primary for who they believe is the weakest candidate against trump

(91,951 posts)that what you are calling unregistered Democrats have to register, and all they have to do is check the Democratic box instead of the no party preference
If they cant do that, then they do not want to be identified as Democrats, and that is bullshit
I might also add that helped get us Arnold as the Governor
