register in the last election as a Democrat. This does NOT apply to new registrations, only existing ones.

Unlike Iowa, which has a caucus, In New York, you can request an absentee ballot. So there is very little excuse for not voting in the last election.

You talk about insulting voters to gain votes, well, the caucus does a pretty good job of only allowing those that are physically able to be present to vote. All others aren't welcome.

Anyone who has been a registered Democrat, Republican, or a brand new voter, will not have any issues. The only ones who have an issue with this, are those who previously choose not to be part of the political party they now want to have a say in determining that parties nominee.
