No Party Changes Allowed (NY 2008)

[HereSince1628]

11. Things only get settled until the next lawsuit... if the argument is made on different issues

the decision of the courts may be different.

I think a deadline to change affiliation is technically OK, but then actions based on that deadline must be followed in a reasonable period of time. Having things change months afterwards really pulls the rug out from under people who actually checked their registrations and thought they were fine.

It seems that in both Arizona and New York, people checked their affiliations at the start of the primary season and therefore took no action to appeal the Party's automated change in affiliation.

I can't understand how the Democratic party would ever think it was a good thing to drop people affiliated with the party. You want people to vote as often as possible as democrats so that they get deep into the habit of doing so.
