19. I don't disagree

However, make the window shorter. At least within the same calendar year.

In NJ (where I'm registered), unaffiliated voters can vote in primaries, but they cease being unaffiliated if they do so-- this was me as BOE messed up my registration. I had a long phone call with them and I ceased being unaffiliated after voting in a primary. (Technically you can change it back the next day). If you want to switch from R to D (or vice versa), it must be done 45 days before a primary.

Some states have open primaries (IL I think-- using it as an example because they voted today). I have several friends who are registered in nonpartisan states and have ratfucked GOP primaries (or voted for the worst on the ballot). I'm also not a fan of the top two jungle primary system.
